This study examines the relationship between immigration and group sexual assaults in Spain through the media. It was found that there were 194 immigrant offenders from 21 nationalities in 182 cases of group sexual violence recorded between 2014 and 2019. The study seeks to debunk the idea that immigrants have a higher involvement in this type of crime. Some studies find an overrepresentation of immigrants in criminal acts, while others indicate that immigrants engage in antisocial behaviors similarly to natives or even have lower crime rates. In Spain, studies conclude that immigration does not increase crime, although the relationship may vary depending on the type of crime and the characteristics of immigrants. The study analyzes group sexual violence and its relationship with the immigrant population in Spain. The results show that there is a higher participation of the immigrant population in these crimes, especially from countries in northwest Africa. However, other complementary aspects of this information are unknown, such as the legal status of the offenders or the motivations of the minors involved. It is concluded that the nationality of the offender is not a significant predictor by itself, and it is suggested to conduct more rigorous research to establish causal relationships and consider other factors that may increase criminal risk in the immigrant population.

The article analyzes the origin and evolution of the term "gachupín" in Mexico, used to refer to Spaniards. In 16th century Spain, the word had an ironic or mocking sense, but fell out of use in the 17th century. In Mexico, the term adopted a different meaning, alluding to being native, without derogatory intention, during the viceroyalty and part of the 19th century. However, starting from the second half of the 19th century, especially with the Revolution, the term became pejorative. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term went from having a descriptive meaning to being used derogatorily towards Spaniards. During the Mexican Revolution, the term became particularly aggressive and extended to all Spaniards. Although initially there was rejection and distance between resident Spaniards and Republican refugees, over time this distinction was erased and only the Mexican children of both groups remained. Although the word still carries a negative connotation, it could follow the path of terms like "chicano" and "chilango," which have lost their negative implications over time.

This issue of the CIDOB Immigration Yearbook analyses the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on immigration, human mobility, and migration policies. Spain is its main subject, but Europe and, to a lesser extent, Latin America and the United States are also discussed. The analysis particularly focuses on the pandemic’s effects on the living and working conditions of foreigners in our healthcare, domestic and care sectors and among seasonal agricultural workers. Finally, beyond the pandemic, a series of specific issues are examined, such as the emigration of young Spanish university students, mixed couples and LGBTI refugees.

Hate speech against vulnerable groups is acknowledged as a serious problem for integration and respect for the social diversity existing within the territory of the European Union. The growth of this type of discourse has been supported by the expansion of social media, which have been proven to act as a mechanism for the propagation of crimes against targets such as migrants and refugees, one of the main affected groups. That is why we have conducted the first European study of the social acceptance of migrants and refugees by studying the presence of hate speech. The research is based on the perspective of the theories of intergroup contact and mediated intergroup contact. The methodology includes large-scale longitudinal analysis (2015-2020) of online hate speech on Twitter (N = 847,978) and its contrast with existing official indicators. The results suggest that personal intergroup contact is positively corretaled with the support of the local population towards migrants and refugees but mediated intergroup contact is not correlated with hate speech on Twitter. We found evidence that those regions where the support for foreigners was higher, there was a lower level of hate speech on Twitter. This is an advance in the study of hate speech by territories and can help in the formulation of action strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to provide an overview of the immigration of extra-Peninsular origin recorded in Colonia Patricia (Córdoba, Spain) based on the analysis of the available literary and epigraphic documentation. Starting from the foundation of the Roman city and its subsequent conversion into a colonia civium Romanorum, we will carry out an analysis of those individuals who, from the 2nd century BC, arrived in the city from non-Hispanic territories. We will deal with important aspects such as the regions and cities of origin of these immigrants, their professional occupations, the causes that determined their mobility and the activity they developed in Corduba after their arrival. Chronologically, our contribution covers the long period of time between the foundation of Corduba in the 2nd century BC by the consul M. Claudius Marcellus and the 5th century AD, which is the date of the latest case of mobility we have documented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The refugee crisis has been a fertile ground for hate speech that has portrayed migrants as a dangerous threat and has been spread through social networks. While the media have unconsciously contributed to the proliferation of these racist messages, some have reacted by extending their traditional journalistic activity to the creation of newsgames to find new ways of addressing the situation. This study examines the use of five newsgames developed by leading media outlets using a methodology based on a multimodal qualitative analysis (informative and ludonarrative). The results showed that newsgames players have access to truthful information, as is the case for other journalistic genres, and draw on other types of personal and emotional information (circumstances, feelings, family ties). These data did not appear in isolation but integrated into the gaming experience. The study concludes by identifying the interaction between the levels of information and immersion of the newsgames that make up the sample, as well as their different gradation: giving the player the opportunity to make more significant decisions within the story allows for the introduction of nuances that promote empathy towards refugees; however, greater freedom in the gaming experience in newsgames distances them from the classic informational model and may involve a greater risk of distortion of the ideas that they seek to promote.

The current research aimed to analyze the moderation effect of marital satisfaction and social support in the relationship between premigratory expectative and vital satisfaction. In the study 81 Latin-American immigrant females who had regrouped their families. The results showed that both premigratory expectative and social support correlated with vital satisfaction. However, only marital satisfaction had a significant moderation effect, so this variable muffles the negative effect that non-realistic expectative have on vital satisfaction. These results can have practical implications from the viewpoint of psychotherapeutic work with immigrant people in the incoming country. Finally, limitations of the study are discussed and possible future research lines are proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper systematizes and provides an analysis of the political discourses regarding the topics of immigration and immigrants, presented in the government proposals of the national political parties participating during the presidential and legislative elections, in Costa Rica, for the period 2017-2018.The proposal focuses in the discourses, considering them as a continuum between re-active and pro-active discourses facing the immigration phenomenon, situation which evidences the conception of the political parties as fundamental actors in the formulation of public policies that will affect the immigrant population.

Based on the data obtained in the project ‘Inmigrant Woman, Language and Society: New Perspectives for Integration”, which is being developed in the University of Vigo, we analyse the relations between the use of specific speech acts and the processes of assimilation, adaptation, integration, and cultural and language preservation that inmigrant women show in the host community, and specifically in this case, in Galicia, an autonomous territory from Spain.

The reform of medical care carried out by means of the Royal Decreelaw uses the concepts of insured and beneficiary as ways of access to the publich health system. It curbs the trend towards a full univesalization of the system in order to exclude, based upon merely economic criteria, some specific vulnerable groups as irregular inmigrants and Spanish unemployed emigrants who are abroad more than ninety days and who are not receiving the unemployment benefit. The thesis is that the exclusion of vulnerable groups can be considered against the constitutional right to the health protection and to the international obligations assumed by the Spanish state. Besides the reform has a clear recentralizing feature by using notions typical to Social Security which laminate the competences that had been taken by the Autonomous Communities in the field of home health, with the excuse of a non proved discordination between the automic health services.

Cultural diversity includes multiple forms of interpreting the experience of pain, from the point of view of nursing we must take interest in the different cultural collectives to better understand their ways of understanding the world with the goal of adapting our cares. In this study, we delve into the variability of the experience of labour in immigrant women. Main objective: Delving into the diversity of the experiences of the process of labour in immigrant women. Methods: Bibliographic review. We used following inclusion criteria articles were accepted since 2000 until now. Those that were full text were accepted and fit the proposed theme. We found 57 articles of which 31 were selected for the final review. Results: We have organised the different found themes into three block; immigrant women and health, variability in the process of labour and nursing implication. Conclusions: The variability in the experience of labour does not only appear between different cultural groups, but also within the same culture, this variability demands from us an adaptation in the cares we offer to different collectives and regarding the different ways of acting during the process of labour, we have not found any paper that proposes a way to do so, new studies are indispensable that not only theorise about the cultural adaptation of cares, but also centre on how to take them into practice.

El presente trabajo intenta despejar el velo asociativo empírico que ha envuelto a la inmigración con la inseguridad ciudadana mediante la valoración de la implementación del pasado judicial como medida adoptada por el gobierno de Lucio Gutiérrez -2004- al ingreso de ciudadanos colombianos al Ecuador desde la percepción nacional que relacionó su presencia en el país con los altos índices de criminalidad. El análisis contiene una aproximación histórica y conceptual de la inmigración internacional y su inserción en el escenario nacional en donde se construyen mitos y estereotipos a su alrededor. Se aborda el tema del populismo penal en cuya doctrina se incorpora una inspección actual en las aspiraciones de reforma penal en el Ecuador, finalmente se presenta los resultados cuantitativos de la aplicabilidad y eficacia del pasado judicial.

This paper analyzes of Mexican inmgration in Spain from 2003 to 2013. The methodology used analysis of data of the Observatorio Permanente de la Inmigración to determine characteristics as number of residents, including nationalized, cities concentration, gender, age, level of education. We tried two hypotheses: 1) the Mexican inmigrants are similar group in socio demographic characteristics and 2) choosing Spain to continue their graduate studies to continue their education. Some build labour and/or sentimental relationships that make their stay permanent, either for studies (academic immigration), or to start a new life with their Spaniard partner (sentimental immigration). This work describes Mexican inmigrants in Spain, bachelor's degree, typically 35 year old of middle class, who reside mainly in four cities. Women outnumber men. Residence permit obtained by marriage with Spanish people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Se busca estudiar de manera comparativa las relaciones de pertenencia que desarrollan chilenos en España en dos momentos migratorios: la que se desarrolla en 1973 y la que sucede en torno al año 2000. De esta manera se pretenden analizar sus vínculos con el lugar de origen y el lugar de destino en su asentamiento en España, así como sus transformaciones en relación a dos momentos de llegada diferentes y dos coyunturas de partida distintas. Se pretende investigar las prácticas asociativas de estos sujetos migrantes, a la luz de perspectivas de análisis tales como la asimilación revisada y el transnacionalismo. ABSTRACT This article aims to study comparatively relationships that develop Chilean membership in Spain in two migratory moments: taking place in 1973 and happens around the year 2000. The study wants to analyze its links with the place of origin and the destination in their settlement in Spain and their transformations in relation to two different arrival times and two different starting situations. In addition, we want to investigate associative practices of these migrants subjects, in light of prospects for analysis such as the revised assimilation and transnationalism.

Background: Interest in research on migrant health is increasing. The aim of this study is to review sample characteristics, study design, and outcomes (participation and retention rate) of longitudinal studies of the health of migrant populations, and to evaluate whether there are differences in outcomes related to study populations and methodology. Methods: A literature search of prospective longitudinal studies on migrants’ health was performed in Medline and Web of Science, with 545 articles retrieved. Key informants were contacted when needed. After identification, screening, and eligibility, nine articles were included. Results: The most commonly studied topics were occupational and mental health (44.4%). Two studies had sample sizes of >5000 subjects, and 4 studies recruited families. One study targeted undocumented workers. Study duration was 2 years in 4 studies with 1 follow up wave. Two studies collected biological samples, and 2 used incentives. Higher participation (PR) and retention (RR) rates were found in studies of families, studies of groups perceived to be at high risk, studies where the researchers had close community ties, and studies where complete contact information had been obtained by the researchers. Lower PR and RR were associated with large time delays between waves and targeting irregular workers. Respondent driven sampling (RDS) was successful in reaching hidden populations. Conclusions: Identification of documented migrants through governmental records, early follow up, use of a variety of strategies (including digital technologies) to locate participants and maintaining personal relationships are the main factors influencing PR and RR. It is essential to consider them when planning research and to foresee and plan for the difficulties that might arise during a longitudinal study.

Adopting the perspective of discourse analysis about migration as well as the principles of intercultural communication, in this paper we carry out a lexico- semantic study of the term "immigrants" in the Spanish national press and in the so-called foreign or inmigrant press in Spain. Our aim is to see how these media build alterity by elaborating migrant identities, and investigate whether they strengthen understanding between communities through the elaboration of discursive hybrid identities.

En la presente década, la inmigración extranjera ha incrementado notablemente su peso en el municipio de Sevilla, pasando de tener un efecto por completo marginal en el pasado sobre la población, a suponer un hecho de gran importancia social y demográfica en la actualidad. Desde una metodología cuantitativa, este artículo pretende realizar una aproximación sintética al impacto demográfico del incremento de la población extranjera respecto de su distribución y segregación en la ciudad, atendiendo a la posible formación de clústeres en determinados sectores urbanos. Con este objetivo se ha trabajado con el padrón municipal de la ciudad y se ha hecho una cartografía recurriendo tanto a indicadores de uso más común a la hora de aproximarse a estas realidades como a técnicas e indicadores con una menor difusión en el panorama nacional. [fr] Au cours de cete décennie, l’immigration étrangère a augmenté son poids dans la ville de Séville. Ce fait avait un effet marginal complètement dans le passé sur la population, mais il a gagné une grande importance sociale et démographique aujourd’hui. Du point de vue de la méthodologie quantitative, cet article cherche à apporter une approche synthétique de l’impact démographique de l’augmentation de la population étrangère, sa distribution et sa ségrégation dans la ville, sur la possible formation de clústers dans certaines zones urbaines. Avec cet objectif, nous avons travaillé avec la municipalité de la ville et realisé une cartographie en utilisant les indicateurs les plus communs utilisés dans l’approche de ces réalités et des techniques et des indicateurs moins utilisés en Espagne.

This study presents some of the socio-employment characteristics of East European workers in Spain, particularly Romanians and Bulgarians. Firstly (and following a brief commentary on statistical sources), the author analyses the evolution and geographical distribution of these workers, highlighting their high representation in provinces in inland areas of the peninsular, and in rural municipalities. Subsequently, an examination is carried out oftheir participation on the job market, according to payments made to the Social Security system and the workers’ main sectors of activity, which shows the differences according to sex, nationality and place of residence. Finally, the statistical information is supplementedby the results from different empirical research studies.

In Eastern and Central Europe, the collapse of the socialist model and the incorporation of the neoliberal model plunged the region into a deep economic and social crisis. In this context, emigration came to be viewed as a way out, at least on a temporary basis. Transnational migration from this region has also been interpreted as a response to the crisis of values generated following the collapse of the Socialist States. This text analyses migration flows from Eastern and Central Europe from three perspectives: politics (which defines their legal status); sociocultural (from whence their social identities and imaginaries are derived) and the economic (which establishes specific forms of job placement). The aim of the study isto show that choosing migration destinations is not only determined by a rational economic logic, but also by political and socio-cultural factors; the study also stresses the point that social integration is a reciprocal, multidimensional process.

This article examines the performance of illegal and legal Bulgarian immigrants on the Madrid job market, their propensity to integrate into the receiving society and their intention to return to Bulgaria. The performance of migrants is defined by their success in finding employment (and specifically by their first job and present job in the host country), by their competition with autochthonous workers for employment and by patterns of saving/ remittance sending. The article is based on a survey carried out in 2003/2004 on 202 Bulgarian immigrants residing in the Community of Madrid.

In this work, the author evaluates through a theoretical and historical perspective the several strategies adopted by the US government in order to deal with the challenges posed by the US-Mexican border. In this effort, an answer is offered to a relatively frequent question: i.e. what has kept the establishment of the “natural” labor and economical logic in the US-Mexican border control? The proposed answer, drawing its inspiration from constructivism, suggests that the American perception of Mexico as a threat becomes the leit motif of the US-Mexican border control. Fromthis answer, the author derives the following hypothesis: it is only through the erosion of this perception that a new strategy, underpinned by a different logic, can be envisaged.Keywords:
