After the description of the origin places and the socioeconomic situation, this article delineated the emergence and characterization of this migration as a strategy to face the economic and material scarcity. The contribution of this work is that describes how the migration is based upon communitarian links and relationships, showing that the migrants are social subjects with agency that use their social relationships and knowledge.
