Author Slocum-Bradley, Nikki Chapter Title The Positioning Diamond: Conceptualizing Identity Constructions at the US-Mexico Border Book Title Promoting Conflict or Peace through Identity Publication Date 2009 Place of Publication London Publisher Ashgate Start page n/a End page n/a Language eng Abstract While the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has enabled the free fl ow of goods within the North American continent, the mobility of persons across the border between the United States of America and Mexico has become an issue of increasing tension. This border has the highest number of both legal and illegal crossings of any land border in the world. Three hundred and fi fty million people cross the border legally every year, in addition to an estimated one million annual illegal crossings, approximately 80 per cent of which are Mexican.1 An estimated 6.72 million Mexicans are currently living illegally in the US (Lochhead 2006). Thousands of people have been murdered or died as a result of exposure while attempting to cross these national borders. US citizens and immigrants alike claim to be the victims of US migration policy and popular attitudes. UNBIS Thesaurus MEXICO
