| Resumo: | The article presents the contemporary return situation of migrants originally from rural areas of Campeche and Tabasco who traveled to the United States. With data obtained from 60 returnees through interviews conducted in 2006 and 2007 in Campeche and from a survey in 2008 and 2009 in Tabasco, it was determined that most of the migrants were returning for the same reason, historically, as many other Mexicans: family ties.However, in this emerging migration region, the decision to return has also been recently determined by economic and structural reasons, similar to what has happened in other areas. Among these causes are restrictive migration policies and the economic crisis in the host society. Given this adverse scenario, traditional patterns of return will hardly be reestablished in the short term. Perhaps the changes will become permanent. |
