2. P79 Key Issue 2 and 3 Look at Figure 3-7 on page 97 in the textbook.
Read through the information.
Write and explain a push factor and a pull factor for these undocumented immigrants from Mexico.
Look at Figure 3-6 on page 95.
Write and explain if you feel the “distance decay” concept applies or does not apply to Latin America migration to the United States. Explain your reasoning.
Push factor from Mexico would be poverty, lack of jobs. Pull factors might include availability of jobs, “land of opportunity” idea, family already in U.S.
Distance decay says there is less importance to the phenomena as the distance increases. Latin American residents primarily migrate to the U.S. which is closer to them than to migrate to Europe or Asia which is further away. So yes we can say for the most part that the distance decay theory does apply to Latin American migration to the U.S.
