Resumen:
International migration of workers is closely related to inequalities
and asymmetries of the capitalist system and also involves the transfer
of surplus value from less developed to industrialized or developed
poles. Migrant-sending countries have been characterized by implementing
economic policies that have increased levels of unemployment,
impoverished working conditions, devoid agriculture of support, and
increased informality. Meanwhile, in the receiving countries, migrants
are functional, as expressed in the difference of the individual cost of
labor between migrants and native workers. In this context, the
conditions signed under the North American Free Trade Agreement have
produced greater economic subordination to the United States, and an
extraordinary increase in migration flows, especially of the so-called
undocumented migrants, with no legal protection or coverage.
