Inmigración, remesas y seguridad nacional en la relación México-Estados Unidos

Abstract

The leading premise in this article is that, concerning policy, a nonviable strategy is a sign of an erroneous diagnosis of reality; which is true in relation to the policy maintained by American and Mexican governments towards the migratory phenomenon. The author establishes the absence of such a strategy is mostly sustained by the lack of will to honestly discuss the migratory problem; by the set of various interests involved in USA internal policy; and by the absence of a strategic position and a clear vision inside Mexico itself. Thus, this article explains that remittances, a source of essential income for national economy, will not have any future if they are considered as a substitute social policy of the action Mexican State must take on.
