Abstract
This article maintains that migration is a structural phenomenon. It argues that the United States does not recognize itself as a party to creating impoverishment and that its recognition would lead to a solution; on the contrary, the U.S. criminalizes immigrants' labor and tries to seal the border. The author maintains that military and police measures to stop migratory flows are not viable and presents a series of recommendations to deal with migration.Authors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms:
