Figure 5.19: Origins of migrants. This map depicts the Mexican state of origin for the residents of Garfield, an ethnic neighborhood in Phoenix, Arizona, that is composed mostly of Mexican and Mexican-American residents. Note that most of the residents trace their homeland to only a few northern Mexican states; immigrants from Mexico’s more southern states, such as Oaxaca and Veracruz, are relatively rare.
