International migration returning from the United States to Mexico in the context of the economic and political crisis

This paper analyzes the immigrants who recently returned to Mexico from the United States during the period from 2001 to 2014. This is a temporal cohort where the proliferation of American anti-immigration state laws has led to an unprecedented increase in the number of deportations in the United States. Similarly, the economic crisis in the United States, which began in 2007 and peaked in 2008, led to an increase in the number of people returning to Mexico. According to the data of the National Survey of Demographic Dynamics(ENADID), during 2004-2009, including the year of the worst economic crisis, the number of returning immigrants was 490,000, which decreased again to 260,000 in 2009-2014; however, during these periods, there were still about 1 million definitive or permanent immigrants to the United States (Ramirez and Aguado, 2013: p. 179). In addition, the recent immigration and humanitarian crisis of unaccompanied minor migrants in 2014 reached a historical figure of more than 61,000. In this case, the purpose of this study is to analyze the international immigrants returning to Mexico from the United States in the context of the economic and political crisis from 2004 to 2014
