Sumario:The 46th  article of the Spanish Emigration law of 1907 established a half-price repatriation policy for those Spaniards who found themselves in the need to return and did not have enough resources to pay their trip. During the decade of the Revolution, over a thousand peninsular immigrants returned to Spain with a half-price ticket granted by the general Consulate of Spain in Mexico and negotiated by the main assistance association with headquarters in the Mexican capital, the Sociedad de Beneficencia Española [Spanish Assistance Agency]. This paper analyzes the close relation between the events of the Revolution, the economic crisis that broke out in Mexico City during the main years of the conflict (1914-1916), and the reasons that led immigrants to return to their home country with a free repatriation ticket.
