He develops an ethical rationale for opening up the U.S.\/Mexican border, as well as improving conditions in Mexico so that its citizens would have little incentive to migrate.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Ethical Borders <\/em>Hing insists that reforming NAFTA is vital to ameliorating much of the poverty that drives undocumented immigration and he points to the European Union&#8217;s immigration and economic development policies as a model for North America. Hing considers the world-wide economic crisis and the social problems that attend labor migration into homogenous countries, arguing for a spectrum of changes, including stricter border enforcement and more effective barriers; a path to citizenship for undocumented migrants; or a guest worker program.<\/p>\n<p>Hing also situates NAFTA and its effects in the larger, and rapidly shifting, context of globalization\u2014particularly the recent rise of China as the world&#8217;s economic giant. Showing how NAFTA\u2019s unforeseen consequences have been detrimental to Mexico, Hing passionately argues that the United States is ethically bound to address the problems in a way that puts prosperity within the grasp of all North Americans. \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1592139256?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1592139256\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/1592139256?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=1592139256\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hing, Bill Ong. <em>Ethical Borders: NAFTA, Globalization, and Mexican Migration<\/em>.
