De las migraciones indocumentadas desde México a Estados Unidos a los flujos documentados de trabajadores

The objectives of this article are several: 1) To propose possible explanations for the migratory changes of the last years by sharply reducing the number of undocumented migrants and an increase to more than 200 000 legal workers using visas H2 per year; 2) to remark the importance of the historic labor contribution of Mexican workers to the U. S. labor market; 3) due to these facts, rethink the Mexico-U. S. relationship so that Mexico may be considered as a highly collaborative neighbor to the historical development of the United States. This work has been elaborated by integrating several research results from different sources, as well as with data from Emif-Norte and other statistical sources. Also, incorporating the author’s research experiences.
