Through an exploratory research, with bibliographical and documental survey, using the inductive method, this paper aims to highlight the importance of the reception and integration network of international immigrants in the city of Dourados, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, based on the thought of SILVA and SANTOS (2020) on the vulnerability of immigrants and SILVA and PIRES (2020) on the construction of a support network in the universities of the region. For this, the text is structured in three specific objectives: firstly, to contextualize the immigration flow to the city of Dourados; secondly, to understand the support network of these immigrants, and finally, to analyze the data on the reception and integration of young immigrants in the region. The conclusions point out that the protagonism of the immigrants themselves, especially young people, in the political organization of their demands, has been a preponderant factor for their claims to be taken into consideration by the public authorities.
