ABSTRACT: This is an article
review of state-of-the-art about Mexicans’ migration to the USA, in last 5 years.
We analyzed 4 myths: 1). Migration generates negative effects for the receiving
country because when migrants arrive. 2). Mexicans’ migration to the USA generates
big distortions in the receiving communities and Mexico is the only economic beneficiary.
3). Migrants collapse public health services in USA. 4). Mexican migrants are
mistreated by American authorities. The findings will show the lack of
empirical evidence of these generalized ideas.
