  • The present article analyzes the new dynamism of Mexico-U.S. migration in the context of the economic integration process under NAFTA. By means of the conceptualización of the labor export-led model three basic mechanisms of regional economic integration are envisaged: the maquiladora industry, the disguised maquila, and the labor migration. This analytical framework allows us to contextualize the migratory phenomenon beyond its demographic dynamic when considering structural means associated to the neoliberal globalization and the role assigned to labor migration in the process U.S. productive restructuring. We conclude that the Mexico-U.S. economic integration process, instead of promoting the development of the region, paradoxically is widening the socioeconomic asymmetries between both countries and increasing the socioeconomic dependency of the remittances in Mexico.
