La frontera de Reynosa y los albergues de acogida para migrantes mexicanos deportados. Un primer acercamiento

Abstract

For decades, the study of migrations in Mexico has awakened countless publications in different specialties as a country of transit, reception, expulsion, and return of migrants. This article focuses on the deportations of Mexicans from the United States, through the border cities, taking as the place of study the city of Reynosa, Tamaulipas. It also deals with the operating of two shelters that provide space and basic services for deportees for a short period, the Casa del Migrante Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe and Senda de Vida. Altogether, this will help to have a better understanding of the migratory phenomenon from social history in border regions that have had less prominence, but which are also important for the knowledge of our reality.
