This article analyzes a series of extralegal procedures implemented by Guatemalans to acquire Mexican personal identification documents. The research focuses on the experiences of descendants of families who took refuge in Mexico during the 1980s and 1990s and returned to Guatemala between 1994 and 1996. These young people, born in Guatemala after their parents returned to their country of origin, employed the practice of buying Mexican birth certificates which were later used to enter Mexico legally. The fieldwork was carried out in two Guatemalan villages, as well as two Mexican ones, located in Cancun and Playa del Carmen. The main argument is that for them Mexican identification documents become a singular force that confers recognition and offers them the possibility to be incorporated into governmental logic which grants material benefits. Such forms of political imagination are related to the experiences of multiple documentation accumulated by older generations during their refuge period and are now encouraged by the Mexican State's new border security strategy.

Ancient DNA has become an important tool for bioarchaeological research. Advances in laboratory and sequencing methods now make it possible to recover complete genomes from ancient human remains. The application of paleogenomics methods to the abundant cultural patrimony of Mexico holds great promise for addressing many questions of bioarcheological interest such as the study of ancient population diversity and paleopathology, among others. However, the study of ancient DNA is inherently destructive and has irreversible consequences for the sustainable management of cultural resources. In this paper we present a brief overview of the history of ancient DNA research and its application to Mexican bioarchaeology. We also discuss some of the ethical concerns surrounding destructive sampling and provide recommendations for conducting ethical and sustainable research with human skeletal remains in Mexican and Latin American contexts. We conclude with our thoughts regarding the future of the field of paleogenomics in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to present the initial results of a study on Maya-Yucatecan migrant women who have settled permanently in Los Angeles, California. The reasons that led them to migrate are addressed as well as the way they came to the United States and joined the work force. Certain aspects that permitted their insertion into Los Angeles society are highlighted, together with identity recovery practices to show that adaptation to the host culture is slow, irregular and incomplete, but enough for them to deploy survival strategies. The paper is based on the assumption that female migration lends this phenomenon specific characteristic that warrant special attention. Accordingly, the analysis of the document is based on an interpretation of the meaning of the actions, for which the content of ten in-depth interviews conducted in Los Angeles in 2012 was used.

According to mortality statistics, in Mexico, during the period 2002-2010, 393 people died by excessive natural heat, mostly in the northwest of the country. Information about these cases is valuable for understanding the social determinants of health associated with this cause of death, so in this paper we analyze the characteristics of dead people that reveal their social situation. The statistics, for example, show that most of the victims were men, most of whom had a low socioeconomic status. This paper explores and opens several lines of research on the impact of high temperatures on the population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the interaction between Chinese immigrants and Mexicans in Sinaloa. Topics include the immigrants' businesses and occupations, the social interactions on a small scale, including marriages between Chinese immigrants and Mexican women, and the development of racist interpretations of these interactions. The interpretation of racism played a significant role in the anti-Chinese movement in Sinaloa, especially during the revolutionary period.

As a cultural institution, the press plays a fundamental role in documenting and forging the public image of migrants. This paper analyzes two thematic axes in the post 9/11 narrative of the New York Times on migration. The image that was created during the year following the terrorist attacks presents on the one hand the Mexican migrant as a potential terrorist and on the other hand migration as a global problem. It is fundamental to problematize the rhetoric about contemporary migration by inserting it in the ideological roots that defined that moment and in the historical framework of the Mexico-United States relationship. The media rhetoric post 9/11 contributed to the emergence of a new international agenda by globalizing this representation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research analyzes the nature of the Mexican ethnic economy developing in the cities of Huntington Park and Lynwood, California, in the United States. Using census databases and the results of 145 surveys administered to and 25 interviews with a range of people in 2012, this paper documents the existence of a Transnational Ethnic Economy (TEE), which goes further than the traditional definition of the "ethnic economy" concept" and is organized and develops in such a way that includes individual businesses, businesses with multiple branches, supermarket networks, and a commercial consortium in the study zone, with bonds and relationships that transcend national borders.

This paper explores the migration processes and labor incorporation of two professional groups of Mexicans in the United States: engineers and nurses. Certification standards, the ability of migrants to act as agents, and the involvement of various actors in the migratory process are analyzed in order to understand how differentiated labor paths are built within and between each occupational group in the US labor market Other structural factors that helped to understand the processes studied were the motivations to migrate, family and professions networks, and gender.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of labor income prior to migration on the income obtained by migrants in the destination economy, in the case of temporary Mexican migrants in the United States. The data used comes from the Emif Norte survey conducted between 1999 and 2009. High relative and absolute mobility is observed. Hourly income is multiplied by a factor of four in the destination economy, while the effect of a 10 % increase in labor income in Mexico results in less than a 1 % increase in labor income in the United States. The results show that labor income in Mexico has little predictive power for the job performance of Mexican migrants in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The phenomenon of highly qualified Mexican migration has received little attention, and even less has been given to migrants with post-graduate studies. This is principally due to the scarcity of information sources to directly examine the number of qualified migrants worldwide and their characteristics. This paper offers an indirect estimate of the number of qualified Mexicans residing abroad, a figure estimated at 2.22 million in 2013. Drawing on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, this research analyzes the trends of highly qualified Mexican immigrants in the United States in 1990-2013. It also presents a descriptive analysis with ACS 2011-2013 data for migrants with postgraduate studies in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (stem).

This paper analyzes migration from Mexico to the United States over the past decades and seeks to explain why it began to fall starting in 2008. After providing some background on the historical trends of labor migration to the United States, the article focuses on the place of Mexicans and other Latin Americans in the United States labor market as the context that frames Mexican migration. This work then analyzes the impact of the 2008-2009 recession on Latin American laborers, especially Mexicans, and how migration flows from Mexico have evolved in recent years. The conclusion derived from the analysis of the data and trends observed is that the decline in Mexican migration starting in 2008 can primarily be explained by the behavior of labor demand in the United States, largely determined by the recession.

This paper explores the problem of the subjectivity of agricultural workers, based on the hypothesis that they regard their living and working conditions as poor. Fieldwork was used to show their knowledge and opinions on their working and living situation in the San Joaquin Valley, California in 2007 and 2008. It was found that agricultural workers' views are based on the subjectivity and reinterpretation of their objective working and living circumstances. It was concluded that agricultural workers say that their conditions are appalling because their labor, social and human rights are not recognized or respected; the U.S. economic, social and political crisis is detrimental to them and the Free Trade Agreement between Mexico, the United States and Canada (NAFTA) could only benefit them through an immigration reform.

The issue of pensions in Mexico has gained importance over the past 16 years because all the systems in the country were not appropriate to deal with ongoing payments and future reserves. The scheme administered by the IMSS has been no exception as it was the first to be applied to modify a radical transformation of individual accounts by one, hoping this measure will reduce the pressures being generated on the finances of the institution. The aim of this paper is to show that no decrease pension expense in the long run, under some adverse elements not contemplated for this purpose. For this, using the methodology suggested by Johansen vector autoregression (VAR) model with error correction (MEC) is done. The results suggest that pension spending is carried out in this institution not decrease because their own autoregressive dynamics is quite strong and is not restricted considerably in the long run.

The objective of this research paper is to analyze the impact of the Bracero Program from the experience and the sense of life of second generation migrants. We want to reflect what they the children of the laborers think about the participation of their parents in this temporary worker program. We want to recover this experience from their families of origin and how they perceive their own role as children; with this intention we also obtained information on how they see themselves as children of laborers while as cultural heirs of this experience labor. From the qualitative perspective of research we worked with in-depth interviews, with both the children of laborers in Colima, Mexico and Los Angeles, California, as well with their mothers (wives of laborers of the first generation) to obtain this collective memory. We defined categories of analysis that led us to think of a brotherhood identity (vulnerable, uneven and woven by social networks), that is useful to analyze the state of life of the generational heirs of transnational Mexican migration to the United States.
