PINILLOS, Gabriela. “The paradox of mobility and citizenship”: domicilization and documentation after deportation in Tijuana. Estud. front [online]. 2020, vol.21, e052.  Epub 15-Ene-2021. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2010052.

The goal of this article is to analyze the interaction of the documentation status with access to housing and urban mobility of subjects deported from the United States living in Tijuana, Mexico. Through an inductive approach with 17 semi structured interviews with public officials and activists and biographical interviews, an in-depth analysis was carried out based on 23 cases. The results show that the domiciled vision of the citizen in Mexico responds to that of a spatially fixed citizenship, that is, access to fixed housing requires the possession of identity documents and vice versa. Those who manage to access said documents have an easier time renting a home, while those who do not manage to have documents depend more on the availability of shelters and remain in constant intra-urban movement, which, in turn, subjects them to permanent surveillance and control by the police.

Palabras llave : documentation; domicilization; recovery of citizenship; deportation; border.
