Between 2000 and 2015, the U.S. deported unprecedented numbers of Mexican immigrants. During the same period, the population of U.S.‐born children living in Mexico doubled in size. This study estimates the number of U.S.‐born children who emigrated to Mexico from the United States in order to accompany a deported parent: de facto deported children....
Despite Mexico’s increase as a destination country (although < 1% of its population was born abroad, and most immigrants are U.S.–born minors of return migration), its Latin American immigrant population has increased considerably. Mexican ethnicity scholarship has traditionally focused on indigenous populations, but recent studies called for a bet...
This paper explores migration from Mexico to Canada, with careful attention to changes in the bilateral migration relationship over the last twenty years and how Mexican immigrants in Canada compare to other immigrants.
Studies on the symbiosis of crime and COVID-19 have analyzed government-mandated lockdown effects. However, it is unknown to what extent previous crime rates determined a larger and more mortal spread of the pandemic. We study how homicides and robberies in the pre-pandemic year of 2019 are associated with 2020 mortality rates due to COVID-19 in ur...
This book presents chapters written by 8 authors -all researchers of El Colegio de México- which reflect on the intersection of foreign and migration policies in Mexico between 2019 and 2021 from multidisciplinary angles (Sociology, Demography, Political Science, Economics) to provide not only a rich diagnostic of the situation, but perspectives of...
Although recent scholarship shows that restrictive visa policies curtail migration, research does not disaggregate policy effects within migration flows. We analyze Mexico-Canada migration when a travel visa was imposed in 2009 and removed in 2016. The imposition coincided with a dramatic decrease in travel and refugee claims. However, the number o...
La intersección de la política exterior con la política migratoria en el México de hoy La intersección de la política exterior con la política migratoria en el México de hoy EDITORAS CLAUDIA MASFERRER LUICY PEDROZA
The first decade of the twenty-first century was remarkable in terms of migration between Mexico and the United States. For the first time since the 1930s, the net flow of Mexicans to the United States declined to approximately zero for an extended period, and in fact, may have been negative (with more Mexicans returning to Mexico than going to the...
In recent years, a historically unprecedented number of Mexican migrants to the U.S. returned to Mexico. Compared to previous cohorts, recent return migrants are distinct in their motivations for return, who they return with, and where they settle. Family reunification remains a pull, but more stringent enforcement of immigration law forced return...
Este artículo analiza las diferencias en la integración económica de migrantes internos, hombres y mujeres, tanto voluntarios como forzados, según su pertenencia étnica en Colombia. Utilizando información de la Encuesta Nacional de Calidad de Vida para el periodo de 2012 a 2016, se estiman una serie de modelos estadísticos que explican tres dimensi...
We analyze migration and demographic changes among the six countries of North America (NA) and the Northern Triangle of Central America (NTCA, i.e. Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador). Together, they comprise a long-standing South-North migration stream, with the United States (US) and Canada being the main destinations for Mexico and the NTCA. St...
In the past 10 years, a historical change occurred in migration flows within North America: specifically, Mexico–U.S. migration reached zero net migration. Alongside Mexican adults returning to their homeland was an unprecedented number of U.S.-born minors. Little is known about this massive migration of U.S. citizen children. We analyze Mexican ce...

l objetivo de este documento es discutir acerca de la importancia y la necesidad de analizar la relación entre desigualdad y migración desde un acercamiento multidimen-sional, desde una perspectiva internacional que ubique la migración México-Estados Unidos en un contexto más amplio. Este tercer núme-ro complementa los dos primeros de la serie de N...
The objective of this document is to discuss the importance and need to analyze the relationship between inequality and migration from a multidimensional approach, from an international perspective that places Mexico-United States migration in a broader context. This third issue complements the first two of the series of Notes on Inequality and Mig...
Aspectos destacados: Es necesario repensar el sistema migratorio. Los flujos emergentes, la creciente migración de retorno y los nuevos lugares de origen y destino están reconfigurando la dinámica migratoria regional Los indicadores demográficos están convergiendo en la región. La disminución de la fecundidad y el ritmo de crecimiento poblacional a...
This chapter examines changes in the characteristics of contemporary return migration to Mexico in a period dominated by tighter border controls and rising levels of involuntary, and therefore unplanned, return migration. We use the complete set of individual and household records of the 2005 Population Count of Mexico to establish a reliable bench...
Using the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Canada, a nationally representative survey of recent immigrants, this paper explores the influence of coresidents on satisfaction with life in Canada. Results of cross-sectional logistic regression models indicate that except for living with young children shortly after arrival, living arrangements hav...
In spite of a major economic slowdown in 2007-2009 and an increasing escalation of immigration and border enforcement in both the United States and Mexico over the last decade, unauthorized migration from the Northern Triangle of Central America (NTCA, i.e., El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) has persisted. These trends are puzzling and stand in...
Return migration has been a constant feature of Mexico–US migration patterns, but its characteristics have changed sharply with time. We use the Mexican censuses and counts of 1995, 2000, 2010, and the complete set of individual and household records of the 2005 Population Count to explore the demographic characteristics of returnees in the context...
Recently released data from the 2010 Mexican Census shows a large increase of return-migrants from the United States. This paper intends to measure age, gender and educational selectivity of Mexican return-migrants from the US during the period 2005-2010. Focusing on the differences in return before and after 2008, we aim to contribute to the under...

En este proyecto, 8 investigadoras e investigadores de El Colegio de México aplicamos perspectivas interdisciplinarias (Economía, Relaciones Internacionales, Política Comparada, Demografía, Sociología) para entender cómo se intersectan en la actualidad (2019-2021) la política migratoria y la política exterior en México. Nuestros capítulos ofrecen análisis que hacen no solo diagnósticos de la situación actual, sino delinean escenarios diferentes y plausibles a partir de ella.
