Title: Mexico-U.S. Relations: Issues for Congress
Authors: Mark P. Sullivan, Specialist in Latin American Affairs; June S. Beittel, Analyst in Latin American Affairs 
Abstract: The 111th Congress will likely maintain an active interest in Mexico with myriad counternarcotics, migration, trade, and border issues dominating the agenda. Comprehensive immigration reform was debated early in the 110th Congress, but the issue was put aside following a failed cloture motion in the Senate on the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 (S. 1348). Immigration reform efforts once again could be considered in the 111th Congress.
