ARZALUZ SOLANO, María del Socorro  y  ZAMORA CARMONA, Gabriela. Return Migration and Reintegration in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area. Región y sociedad [online]. 2021, vol.33, e1403.  Epub 16-Nov-2021. ISSN 2448-4849.  https://doi.org/10.22198/rys2021/33/1403.

Objective: to observe the effects of the federal policies implemented by the state government in Nuevo León for the population that has returned from the United States. Methodology: interviews to governmental and non-governmental actors. A focus group with returning migrants was made. Results: in Nuevo León, returning migration is not a priority issue on the government’s agenda and actions in the areas of employment, training and health are insufficient for the needs of the population. Limitation: limited access to returnees due to lack of registration. Value: 1) the analysis of the local functioning of the Migrant Support Fund; 2) the location of the metropolitan area of Monterrey as the most important axis of migratory flows in the Northeast, and 3) public care policy proposals for returning migrants. Conclusions: unlike other entities, Nuevo León lacks of the perception that returning migration is a public problem; in consequence, there is no migration policy or a specialized body for the attention to the migrant population, which affects their reintegration process.

Palabras llave : return migration; deportation; public policy; Nuevo León; Northeast Mexico.
