Mexico and the US must be sensitive to domestic political concerns in both countries. No immigration deal is feasible north of the border without addressing security matters; south of the border, there is no conceivable Mexican cooperation on border security or on a Temporary Workers Program if immigration reform ignores the nearly five million Mexican citizens without papers currently living in the US.
墨西哥和美国必须对各自国家的国内政治关切保持敏感。不解决安全问题就不可能在边界的北边处理好移民问题。而在边界南边，如果移民改革忽视目前居住在美国的将近五百万墨西哥非法移民，就无法想象墨西哥会在边境安全以及临时工人项目上进行合作。
