This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico's geographical location has made the country play a centric role in trans-national migration from the Northern Triangle of Central America (NTCA) comprising Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. As a result, immigration has increasingly become a political issue for Mexico over the past decades[1]. Before the eruption of the Central American crisis in the 1980s, Mexico's southern border with Guatemala was recognized for its openness. However, such a tolerating status-quo changed as the number of NTCA immigrants entering Mexico increased upon the exacerbation of the crisis that placed thousands of individuals in exile. Indeed, the turmoil during the Central American crisis that took place in the 80's heavily impacted the region as a whole, catalyzing social conflict and displacement. The impact of the civil wars took a toll on a substantial portion of the local population; even after the gradual establishment of peace started taking place, NTCA immigrants continuously entered Mexico for economic rather than humanitarian reasons. Before the ratification of The New Migration Law (Ley de MigracioÌ1n), The 1974 General Population Law was systematically structured as a coping mechanism for the challenges of the era mainly stemming from a rapid increase in population. With this Law, Mexico virtually made it difficult for immigrants to enter the country. On July 21, 2008 however, irregular migration was decriminalized. A series of claims made by the Mexican society to reform the law to improve policy coherence and implementation measures in an immigrant-friendly manner led to the enactment of the New Migration Law on May 25th, 2011. This law in essence turned out to emphasize the protection of the immigrant's human rights. This project seeks to determine the factors that affect the NTCA immigrant workers' accessibility to Mexico's health care system. The research will analyze two data sets: The Mexican Census of 2010 and the Intercensal Survey of 2015. The purpose of this analysis is to assess whether The New Migration Law has effectively been implemented from the lenses of health care. The hypothesis prior to conducting the analysis was that NTCA immigrants acquired increased access to Mexico's healthcare system. However, findings show that despite the shift in Law, health care access remains restricted for the NTCA immigrants. This project argues that despite the increased efforts to welcome immigrants into the country, poor governance; extended xenophobia and towards immigrants are the crucial factors that impede effective implementation of law through the lenses of health care accessibility. [1]Mexico has traditionally been a sending country and emigration has been the central issue for local migration policy. However, this changed during the 2008-2009 crisis, when returning migration from the United States became the source of the largest inflow entering Mexico.

Download or read book Divided by Borders written by Joanna Dreby and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-02-17 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2000, approximately 440,000 Mexicans have migrated to the United States every year. Tens of thousands have left children behind in Mexico to do so. For these parents, migration is a sacrifice. What do parents expect to accomplish by dividing their families across borders? How do families manage when they are living apart? More importantly, do parents' relocations yield the intended results? Probing the experiences of migrant parents, children in Mexico, and their caregivers, Joanna Dreby offers an up-close and personal account of the lives of families divided by borders. What she finds is that the difficulties endured by transnational families make it nearly impossible for parents' sacrifices to result in the benefits they expect. Yet, paradoxically, these hardships reinforce family members' commitments to each other. A story both of adversity and the intensity of family ties, Divided by Borders is an engaging and insightful investigation of the ways Mexican families struggle and ultimately persevere in a global economy.

Download or read book The Social Construction of Age written by Patricia Andrew and published by Multilingual Matters. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social construction of age in the context of EFL in Mexico. It is the first book to address the age factor in SLA from a social perspective. Based on research carried out at a public university in Mexico, it investigates how adults of different ages experience learning a new language and how they enact their age identities as language learners. By approaching the topic from a social constructionist perspective and in light of recent work in sociolinguistics and cultural studies, it broadens the current second language acquisition focus on age as a fixed biological or chronological variable to encompass its social dimensions. What emerges is a more complex and nuanced understanding of age as it intersects with language learning in a way that links it fundamentally to other social phenomena, such as gender, ethnicity and social class.

Download or read book Votes Drugs and Violence written by Guillermo Trejo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most surprising developments in Mexico's transition to democracy is the outbreak of criminal wars and large-scale criminal violence. Why did Mexican drug cartels go to war as the country transitioned away from one-party rule? And why have criminal wars proliferated as democracy has consolidated and elections have become more competitive subnationally? In Votes, Drugs, and Violence, Guillermo Trejo and Sandra Ley develop a political theory of criminal violence in weak democracies that elucidates how democratic politics and the fragmentation of power fundamentally shape cartels' incentives for war and peace. Drawing on in-depth case studies and statistical analysis spanning more than two decades and multiple levels of government, Trejo and Ley show that electoral competition and partisan conflict were key drivers of the outbreak of Mexico's crime wars, the intensification of violence, and the expansion of war and violence to the spheres of local politics and civil society.
