Abstract
This article analyzes five ideas about Mexican migration toward the United States that drive Trump’s immigration policy and contrasts them with official data from the Survey on Migration on the Northern Border. The author concludes that 1) the data do not justify the content of Trump’s executive orders; 2) Trump’s executive orders make sense as population control strategies to inhibit the growth of Mexican population in the United States; and, 3) Mexico’s main challenge is not the number of deportations, but the diversity of deportees’ needs.
