You might not have been able to tell from Mexican President Felipe Calderon's recent one-day trip to Washington, but the relationship between Mexico and the United States has gone from friendly to farcical. Neither country takes the relationship seriously, and neither seems to be able to break the old habit of blaming the other for its problems. Moreover, for all the photo-ops assuring us that the two countries are partners in the drug war - as well they should be - both tend to let politics interfere.

Mexico and the United States have a twisted relationship. Dysfunctional: Each country likes to blame the other for its problems, and neither is eager to accept responsibility.
The United States is essentially a country of immigrants; however, current United States immigration policy fails to adequately safeguard the rights of certain immigrant groups. Our nation's views toward immigration have changed considerably over the decades. Today, there is a marked focus both in the political arena and in general public discourse on the problems caused by illegal immigration from Central and South America, and in particular from Mexico, to the United States. In July 2003, Arizona Representatives Jim Kolbe and Jeff Flake, and Arizona Senator John McCain, introduced into Congress the Border security and Immigration Improvement Act. The bill's main proposal is to establish two new categories of non-immigrant work visas. This Note will analyze the likely effectiveness of ...

Mexico and the United States have a twisted relationship. Dysfunctional: Each country likes to blame the other for its problems, and neither is eager to accept responsibility. Making matters worse, history comes with hard feelings; the United States claimed it was "manifest destiny" to conquer half of Mexico in 1848. Since then, Mexico has been skeptical of U.S. foreign policy excursions such as the Iraq War, which it opposed.
WASHINGTON - Confronting soaring frustration over illegal immigration, President Barack Obama on Wednesday condemned Arizona's crackdown and pushed instead for a federal fix the nation could embrace. He said that will never happen without Republican support, pleading: "I need some help. In asking anew for an immigration overhaul, Obama showed solidarity with his guest of honor, Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who called Arizona's law discriminatory and warned Mexico would reject any effort to "criminalize migration." The United States and Mexico share a significant economic and political relationship that stands to be damaged the more the nations are at odds over immigration, which affects millions of people on both sides of the border.
The 1840s were tumultuous years for the United States and Mexico - - years that would shape the relationship of two neighboring nations into the 21st century. David Clary explains how we came to fight each other and how the respective legacies affected responses to war, conquest and territorial disputes. To capture the roots of the Mexican War, Clary takes us back to the settlement of what is now Mexico and follows the history of two nations that ultimately fought to claim territories occupied by citizens of both countries.
It's no secret that the U.S. immigration system is badly broken. It's been broken since 1986 and is getting worse. Rep. Steve King, R- Iowa, has proposed building a fence along the entire border with Mexico. President Bush, speaking this week in Arizona, stated that "illegal immigration's a serious challenge, and our responsibility is clear. We are going to protect the border. Unfortunately, unilateral attempts to close the border will only worsen the problem. The central problem concerns the relationship between Mexico and the United States.
News Advisory: What: Leading Mexican and U.S. scholars will offer their perspectives on a wide range of issues affecting the present and future relationship between Mexico and the United States.
