The intention is not going deeper into the different causal mechanisms, but only list them and ponder their interaction to better understand this phenomenon that goes beyond the macro-level considerations (economic and political). Migration, understood as a social process, manifests various causes and consequences in their past and present. And, in the case of the mass migration of Mexicans to the United States in recent decades, it is givable to think that this is a product of historical trends, economic asymmetries, of deep social inequalities and poverty in Mexico, of push and the pull factors, tradition and socialization migrant, social networks, transnational communities, symbolisms and collective imaginaries, modernization in transport and communication, migration industry, cultural values and psychological components, among others. It proposal is to analyze briefly this binational contemporary phenomenon under the epistemological consideration that migration is a social process. For this, macro, meso and microstructures will be essential in the explanation.</p></span></span>}, number={7}, journal={Acta Universitaria}, author={Fernández Guzmán, Eduardo}, year={2012}, month={nov.}, pages={37–46} }
