DECLARt\TION OF ABRAHAM F. LOWENTHAL
I, Abraham F. Lowenthal, hereby declare:
1.

I make this declaration based on my own personal knowledge and if

called to testify I could and would do so competently as follows.
2.

I am a Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern

California ("USC"), a position I have held since 1984. I am also currently a
non-resident Senior Fellow ofthe Pacific Council on International Policy, a Los
Angeles-based international leadership forum, as well as a non-resident Senior

Fellow of the Brookings Institution. My curriculum vitae is attached to my
declaration as Exhibit A.
3.

I received my PhD in Government from Harvard University in 1971.

Previously, I earned my BA and a Master's in Public Administration degree,
both also from Harvard, in 1961 and 1964, respectively.

4.

For the past forty years, my primary area of research has been relations

between the United States and Latin America. I have written or edited some
fifteen books and numerous journal articles, chapters and volumes on various
aspects of those relations. My essay published in the July 2010 issue of

Foreign Affairs, the leading journal on international relations, was my seventh;

I

SLS6-SLS-80S

no one else in that journal's history has published as frequently on U.S.-Latin
American relations. I was founding director of the Latin America Program at
the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, DC
from 1977 to 1983, and founding director of the Inter-American Dialogue, also
in Washington, from 1982 to 1992. These are still considered among the
country's foremost think tanks on U.S.-Latin American relations.
5.

Among the issues on which I have focused is the relationship between the

United States and Mexico, including the special issues which arise from
Mexico's proximity, presence, and influence. I directed the California-Mexico
project at USC from 1984 to 1992, co-edited the California-Mexico Connection
(Stanford University Press, 1993), and included sections on managing complex
interdependence with Mexico in my most recent book, Global California
(Stanford University Press, 2009). I have travelled frequently to Mexico,
lectured there often, and participated actively in numerous academic and policy
exchanges there. I recently published an essay titled "The United States and
Latin America, 1960-2010," in the Mexican journal, Foro Intemacional. Itwas
the lead essay in their fiftieth anniversary issue.
6.

I have testified fourteen times on U.S.-Latin American relations before

the U.S. Congress, briefed the First Lady and two Secretaries of State, and
2

addressed all the U.S. Ambassadors to Latin America and the Caribbean in
January 2010 at the request of the State Department.
7.

I am quite familiar with the history as well as the current state of relations

between the United States and Mexico. During 2008-2009, I served as senior
advisor to the Binational Task Force on the U.S.-Mexico Border organized by
the Pacific Council on International Policy ("PCIP") and the Mexican Council
on Foreign Relations C'C011EXr'), which in 2009 published a widely-praised
report, Managing the Mexico-U. S. Border: Seeking Cooperative Solutions to

Common Challenges. Many of the ideas in that report are reflected in the joint
"Declaration by the Government of the United States of America and the
Government of the Unites Mexican States Concerning Twenty-First Century
Border Management" (May 19,2010), a document which illustrates the
important progress the two countries have recently been making in confronting
shared challenges in a constructive, mutually respectful, and effective way.
8.

Former President George W. Bush? President Barack Obama, and

numerous other senior US government officials have identified the U.S.
relationship with Mexico as one of the most significant international
relationships this country has? in some ways the most important in day to day
tenus. A country of nearly 110 million persons sharing a two thousand miles

3

land border with the United States, Mexico is both large and close, and it is
inextricably intertwined with the United States as a result of many years of
migration and of functional economic integration involving investment; trade;
and the movement of people, goods, money, and ideas. Mexico is the third
largest export market for the United States (after Canada and China). It is an
arena for major investment by U.S. corporations, in many cases facilitating
integrated industrial production that might otherwise move to Asia. It is the
destination for millions of U.S. tourists each year, and has become the
retirement site for hundreds of thousands of U.S. citizens. The extent and
significance of the U.S.-Mexico connection in quotidian terms can hardly be
exaggerated. It substantially affects a range of issues including employment,
the environment, public health, law enforcement, as well as immigration.

9.

Because of Mexico's large and growing importance for the United States,

relations with Mexico have been a high priority for the current government of
the United States. The only foreign head of state with whom President-elect
Obama met was Felipe Calderon of Mexico. Mexico was also the first country
of the Americas Mr. Obama visited as President. In her first fifteen months in
office, Secretary of State Clinton made two trips to Mexico, accompanied on
one or both occasions by the Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, the
4

S'd

8L86-SL8-80S

Secretary for Homeland Security, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and

other senior officials. Mexicos President Calderon made the second state visit
to Washington during the Obama administration and recently returned for
further discussions with the U.S. government and Congress.

10.

I have read House Bill 87, the recent legislation approved by the

legislature of Georgia and signed by that state's governor. Among other
provisions, the law authorizes Georgia law enforcement to prolong the
detention of individuals they stop in order to verify their immigration status,
and allows for the warrantless arrest of individuals if law enforcement officers
obtain verification that an individual is present in the United States in violation
of immigration law. The law also prohibits the use of the Mexican Consular
Identification Card, commonly known as the Matricula, as identification for any
official purpose.

11.

It is my considered opinion that this law, if allowed to stand, would

significantly impair the relations of Mexico with the United States; the attitudes
and opinions of Mexicans, officials, and the general public toward the United
States; and the capacity of U.S. Government officials to conduct constructive
relations with Mexico in the national interest of the United States and its
citizens.

5

g'd

8L86-9L8-809

12.

Mexico is an important trading partner with the state of Georgia, and the

port of Savannah in 2010 was the second-greatest source of exports to Mexico,

by total value, of any port in the United States. Actions taken in Georgia that
affect international issues undoubtedly have an important impact upon relations
between the United States and Mexico. One such issue is the Question of
immigration and the treatment of Mexican nationals who migrate, legally or
illegally, to the United States. Any policy that significantly affects Mexicans
living abroad affects the attitude of the Mexican government and of other
important Mexican business and other interest groups. Such policies therefore
significantly affect Mexico's stance in foreign relations and foreign negotiations
with the United States.
13.

Indeed, already the Consul General of Mexico in Atlanta has publicly

criticized HB 87 on two occasions, first on March 4, when the Georgia House
of Representatives passed an earlier version ofthe bill, and subsequently on
April 15, when the Senate passed the final version of the bill. In the latter
statement the Consul General observed that ifHB 87 were to take it effect it
"could have negative consequences on the human and civil rights of Mexican
nationals" living in Georgia, and that it could subject them to "undue law
enforcement immigration practices by state officers." The Consul General also

6

L'd

8L86-9L8-809

objected that "HB 87 imposes restrictions on High Security Consular
Identification cards which have no bearing on the holder's immigration status,
and are issued under rigorous procedures and according to the Vienna
Convention on Consular Relations to which Mexico and the United States are
parties."
14.

The juxtaposition of the United States and Mexico - of a powerful post-

industrial, technologically advanced society and economy next to a capitalpoor, labor surplus developing economy - creates both great opportunities for
synergistic cooperation and for destructive conflict. The task of U.S. foreign
policy is to try to build upon and realize the synergies, and to reduce, mitigate
and manage the conflicts. Georgia's HE 87 makes this challenge far more
difficult. Negotiations on immigration regulations, improving various aspects
of life at the border, foreign trade, and control of drug trafficking have been or
will be negatively affected by this law.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

EXECUTED this 7 lh day of June, 2011 in West Barnstable, Massachusetts.
