This paper aims to show the sociocultural adaptation strategy of a group of mestizo migrants from Chiapas residing in "Buenavistita," Laurel, Maryland, U.S. The methodology is qualitative, based on interviews and participant observation. The findings allow us to argue that the migratory experience forces them to loosen their identity boundaries inward the ethnic group to reconstitute themselves, survive away, and maintain their Mexican mestizo status. Resulting in the formation of territorial enclaves where they identified against those who label them as illegal, this being the way to defend themselves in a racialized society. This work contributes empirically to migration studies with the case of Chiapanecos mestizos. Although we conclude that the enclave is for them a refuge area, little can be said about other experiences of migrants from Chiapas around ethnicity and the blend of cultures.

This paper delves into an analysis of illegality in migration, from a migrant perspective. To do this, established and assimilated historical practices in selected groups of Mexican migrants were analyzed according to immigration status and settlement area. The argument presented here is that illegality has a functional character for the reproduction of the migrant trajectory. This is demonstrated using a comparative analysis of the way migrants' decisions allow them to integrate their trajectories into two contexts which show unequal development. Such integration determines its functionality independently of the existence of restrictive migration policies in nation-state contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to analyze metaphors and their persuasive function in journalistic discourses in favor of migrants in irregular transit through Mexico. To do this, conceptual metaphors used in texts on Central American transit migration in the Mexican national press of 2014 will be analyzed. Likewise, the metaphor is discussed as a mechanism of persuasion through the appeal to emotions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The large corpus of works on migration, from different disciplines within the Social Sciences, provide data on the causes and consequences of the migration phenomenon that transcends national borders. However, it should be stated that the psychosocial, sociocultural and symbolic aspects of young immigrant children as well as their human rights have not been explored significantly neither in the past nor in present times. In regions with comprehensive immigration tradition elucidates many of the consequences of this problem, why, it becomes privileged field of sociological, anthropological, psychological and historiographical phenomenon of child experimentation sector in international migration. This preliminary work analyzes theoretical aspects on young children's migration, provides official statistics on the topic as well as the reasons and the impact of such a phenomenon. Also, this paper informs the reader on children's human rights in terms of migration policies. This work opens theoretical and methodological paths to reflect more on this vulnerable population in Guanajuato, Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This papers aims to provide a socio-legal account of the impact of Monterrey’s legal regulation on migrants and human rights in the lives of thousands of migrants in an irregular situation coming from Central American. On the one hand, the Law on Migration was analyzed from the perspective of the human rights constitutional reform of 2011. On the other hand, a qualitative research was done, finding evidence of the inefficacy of the new law. It is argued that the attainment of the new law objectives’ requires a change in the anti-migrant institutional legal culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article is based on ethnographic work about migration, which took place in the colony of Lechería in Mexico State. It seeks to understand the problems of discrimination, exclusion and violence that arise in the relations between the inhabitants of the colony and migrants on their way to U.S.A. Based on the tenets of psychoanalysis, the text discusses the notions of discrimination and violence in relation to language, as well as the discourses of science and capitalism as catalysts for the phenomena associated with mass segregation. This paper proposes a dialogue on the commonalities between the psychoanalyst and the social researcher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article tried to offer a political reading –in terms of educational policies– of 15 years of research on international migrant children and adolescents. From this investigative journey, the paper draws some lessons learned for defining the challenges the Mexican school system is facing or is going to face in the future. We mean challenges related with policies designing, curricular and planning definitions, training teachers (preparatory or in-service), content selection and/or school operation’s rules. The main source of our data is four surveys we conducted in Nuevo León, Zacatecas, Puebla, and Jalisco that allowed us to get information from students enrolled in elementary and mid-high schools. From the surveys, we estimate the volume of students participating in the international migration flows. The article focuses in three sub-populations: transnational students (those who have been enrolled in the U.S. and Mexican schools), binational children (those who were born in the U.S.) and children left behind (those who stay in Mexico while their parents and siblings are living in the U.S.).

This paper explores the effect of international migration and remittances on agricultural activities and income distribution in an indigenous community that has recently massified its international migration. Models were used to relate agricultural variables to productive, social, demographic and migration financing factors at home; also, breakdown of the Gini coefficient was used to determine the effect of income sources on the distribution of total income in the community. Information comes from a 2005 survey in 35% of the households. Results show that international migration does not affect the demand for labor in agriculture or raising livestock, but it does promote agricultural production and the recovery of abandoned land. Remittances promote the livestock industry and abandoned land reclamation, but do not affect the demand for labor or agricultural production; they also have a negative, insignificant effect on total income distribution in the community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The remittances sent by Mexican migrants in the USA are relevant for recipient household at least in two senses. First, they contribute to rise income, and therefore to diminish poverty level. Second, they also contribute to regional and local economic development via the multipliers generated by the increases of the demand and of the investment in productive activities. Nonetheless, there are several estimations of household remittances magnitude. This paper analyzes the methodologies of Banco de Mexico (Mexican central bank) and those of recognized researchers. There is no consensus regarding the amount of money transferred by Mexican migrants in the USA. Consequently, the positive effects upon the recipient economy may not be conclusive.

On this work we propose a study on migration, beginning with the revision of the social condition of these Central American emigrants while passing through Mexico, while the violations to their human rights are exposed. This previous idea is developed under the base that even though, migration is not a recent fact, it is a social phenomenon with several transformations in the national policies, as well as, in the reconfiguration of Mexican society. This is the reason why, before this phenomenon dynamic, we propose a different vision that allows the consolidation of this culture of respect to human rights, as well as, an adjustment of the legal framework in order to achieve the highest effectiveness of the regulation, accepting it not only in the paper, but also as a reality that guarantees the legal framework the well being of individuals above some illegal conducts contrary to their human rights, encouraging a combination of acceptance and tolerance to allow harmonic social coexistence.

In Mexico, the "in-charge" system has historically been represented by men. However, when the men emigrate towards the United States, the responsibility can fall on the women of the family. The aim of this paper is to identify changes in the gender relations between women and men in charge of organizing the festivity of the Virgin of Guadalupe on December 12 in La Laja, Queretaro, Mexico, in a context of international masculine migration. It is an ethnographic study on this festivity through direct participant observation and in-depth interviews. In the absence of their husbands, women make individual and group decisions in order to fulfill their religious duties. Because of these new responsibilities, there would seem to be some elements that empower women. Nevertheless, the traditional gender relations keep on being reproduced, undermining the advances made towards the women's autonomy. The women's compulsory participation in the "in-charge" system subjects them to further feminization of gender inequalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a methodological proposal of electoral districting where the population imbalance between the electoral districts is minimized during the period of territorial reorganization. The initial context is the process of federal electoral redistricting in Mexico made in 2004-2005, modified and applied to the state of Michoacán. The work places special emphasis on indicators such as migration and density of the population over eighteen years of age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The city of Guadalajara and the relationship it maintains with migrant workers and the money they send home from the United States are the main focus of this paper, which seeks to identify the role of international migration in families, and whether it results in an improvement in standards of living. What are the consequences of migration and the money sent home by migrants on urban families? It is assumed that they have a direct effect on the families' well-being, and lead to significant changes. Special attention is paid to the households, their composition and the family relationships within them. The combination of these elements may shed light on the power structures within families and their possible economic causes in a context of international migration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes how, although the emigration of Chiapas residents to the United States is a recent phenomenon, it has its roots in internal migrations to increasingly distant places. The author traces its development from 1925 to 2003, describing some of the salient characteristics of these migrants: such as the means of transport used to reach the northern border, sources of financing for carrying out the trip, the migratory experience, crossing points, municipalities of origin and places of destination, using data from the Survey on Migration from Mexico's Northern Border.

This paper analyzed some socio-economic conditions of forest-dependent, non-forest dependent, and policy-sensitive municipalities in the slate of Durango, Mexico. Knowledge of the socioeconomic relationships among variables that determine the main characteristics of a geographic area is important for planners and decision makers in both public and private sectors. For example, assigning monetary resources for socio-economic development or business expansion requires recognition of the territory boundaries in which the projects are embedded. The study used 51 variables to assess the socio-economic conditions, including poverty and migration indexes, and its influence on current forest conditions. Durango's forests are characterized by pine, oak, and other conifer associations. Yearly, the forest production hits 1,8 million m³r and generates around USD $120 million. While this figures position the state as the first forest producer, it ranks seventh among the Mexican states with the highest rate of illegal immigration, primarily to the USA, and sixteenth with the highest poverty index. The study recommends diversify the use of natural resources and prioritize those policy-sensitive Counties when planning and assigning monetary resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we analyze the impact of migration and transborder relationships on the transformation of the religious field at Mexico's northern border area. Through the use of statistic and ethnographic evidence, we argue that, contact with I more religiously environment and migration, confer singular characteristics to the border religious field. However, this singularity does not necessarily imply the diversification of religious affiliations of the inhabitants of the region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
