LA PRODUCCIÓN LEGAL DE LA «ILEGALIDAD» MIGRANTE MEXICANA
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La migración de mexicanos a los Estados Unidos se distingue por una aparente paradoja rara vez analizada: mientras ningún otro país ha proporcionado tantos migrantes a los Estados Unidos como México, los cambios significativos realizados a la ley de inmigración de los Estados Unidos desde 1965 han impuesto crecientes restricciones a la migración «legal» desde México en especial. Este artículo presenta la especificidad histórica de la migración de mexicanos y de su papel en la economía legal del estado nación estadounidense, que han hecho de ella un objeto de la ley. Más precisamente, el artículo analiza la historia de los cambios en la ley de inmigración de los Estados Unidos para destacar el hecho de que estas revisiones referidas al hemisferio occidental, y por lo tanto, a toda la América Latina, tuvieron un impacto desproporcionado y definido sobre los mexicanos en particular.
