RAMIREZ RAMOS, Laura Itzel; NAZAR BEUTELSPACHER, Dominga Austreberta  and  ZAPATA MARTELO, Emma. Exclusion Processes Through Subordinate Inclusion: Immigrants of Guatemala on the Southern Border of Mexico. Frontera norte [online]. 2020, vol.32, e1957.  Epub Sep 25, 2020.

This document shows how, through precarious work on the Southern Border of Mexico, migrant men and women from Guatemala are inserted and contribute to the development of the border space in conditions of inequality (subordinate inclusion) with which social exclusion processes are generated and justified. Quantitative and qualitative research methods and techniques were used (a survey, participant observation and in-depth interviews). The results obtained allow us to conclude that on the Southern Border of Mexico the employment of impoverished laborers lacking protection and options is legitimized, before which neither States nor markets assume responsibilities.
