Mexico's Border with the United States -
- view from the United States recognizes motives that compel unauthorized immigrants to enter illegally such as employment opportunities, family reunification, and a better way of life.
- view from Mexico is more complicated; residents of northern Mexico wish for compassion to be shown to unauthorized immigrants while residents of southern Mexico are less tolerant because of number of unauthorized immigrants entering Mexico from Guatemala.
Immigration concerns in the United States -
- most views of immigration by United States citizen are ambivalent in nature.
Border Patrol - they would like more effective border control but they don't want to open more money to solve the issue.
Workplace - most recognize that unauthorized immigrants take jobs from United States citizens, but they understand most citizens wouldn't take the jobs so they support a path to the United States citizenship for these unauthorized immigrants.
Civil Rights - United States citizens favor letting law enforcement officials stop and verify the legal status of anyone, but they fear civil rights will be infringed upon of United States citizens as a result of racial profiling.
