MEXICO CITY – Although many Americans believe immigration is a domestic issue that should be excluded from talks with other governments, this is not a view held by other nations – or by the United States. Indeed, the US negotiated its first immigration deal in 1907, maintained for more than two decades a controversial treaty with Mexico covering immigration, and has kept up immigration talks and deals even with Fidel Castro since the early 1960’s.
墨西哥城－虽然许多美国人认为，移民是一个不应该包含在与其他政府会谈中的国内问题，但是，这并不是其他国家持有的观点——也不是美国持有的观点。事实上，美国在1907年谈判了其第一个移民安排，并使一个与墨西哥达成的充满争议的移民条约在20多年里得以保留，并且从20世纪60年代早期起，即使是同菲德尔·卡斯特罗，美国也保持着移民会谈和安排。
