The Golden Door: International Migration, Mexico, and the United States

By Paul R. Ehrlich, Anne H. Ehrlich, Loy Bilderback

Book Overview

One of the most potentially disastrous consequences of global warming is likely to be the massive migration of displaced populations, including many of the world's poorest. As a place where a wealthy, heavily industrialized country is bordered directly by a struggling, preindustrial nation, the 2,000-mile United States-Mexican border provides a stark preview of the challenges we will face. Stereotyped thinking, based on racism or fear, will not solve these problems. The Golden Door is a sensitive exploration of a difficult situation, including background on Cuban, Salvadoran, and Haitian migration to the United States.
