Recently, the surging inflow of immigrants at the southern border of the United States has gathered political attention, questioning the long-term viability of receiving immigrants without any restrictions or limitations. Furthermore, U.S. citizens are increasingly dissatisfied with the government's current handling of immigration (Dunn 2023). Categorically denying immigrants' entrance into the U.S. by means of deportation of the undocumented, reinforcement of the border patrol, and construction of walls along the border may be seen as quick, intuitive solutions, but the massive increase in border enforcement and the exponential increase in deportations were not successful in preventing the entry of millions of unauthorized immigrants after 1965 (Redburn, Reuter, and Majmundar 2011; Massey and Pren 2012). Therefore, it is necessary to examine the causes of the huge influx of immigrants to address immigration issues ethically, effectively, and fundamentally. I examine how 1) industrialization, as measured by employment in agriculture, is associated with increasing numbers of incoming immigrants in the U.S., 2) globalization, as measured by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Latin American countries, and 3) the level of Latin American countries' economic development, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, relate to Latin American immigration flow into the U.S. This paper uses the World Bank's World Development Indicators dataset and the Department of Homeland Security's Yearbook of Immigration Statistics to study how neoliberal practices, as manifested in the amount of FDI and transition from an agrarian to an industrial economic structure, create social instability conducive to migration from Latin America to the U.S.
