Abstract

The migration of Mexicans to the US, which has been going on for over a century, originally started in the country’s west. The idea had become commonplace that those who migrated to the north were originally from that region; however, since the beginning of the 1970’s said argument has lost strength and it has been gradually and permanently redefined. Since the late 1980’s the international migratory phenomenon has been evermore present in the country’s southeast, in particular in the state of Veracruz, in a short period of time, involving thousands of peasants who head for non-traditional, urban destinations in the American Union. The major reasons for that are both economic and non-economic factors.
