IZCARA PALACIOS, Simón Pedro. Small scale smugglers in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.42, pp.109-134. ISSN 0188-7653.
Small-scale part-time smugglers are embedded in the migrant community itself. They work in the United States for several months before returning to their place of origin to organize, with the help of several assistants, a small group of migrants, who are transported where the coyotes themselves are going. This article analyses small-scale smuggling carried out by Tamaulipas' polleros, who transport to the United States, one or a few times per year, migrants from their hometowns or other neighboring areas in order to be employed in the farming sector.
