GARCIA, Martha  e  DECOSSE, Frédéric. Agricultura intensiva y políticas de migración laboral: Jornaleros centroamericanos en México y marroquíes en Francia. Migr. desarro [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.23, pp.41-67. ISSN 1870-7599.

This paper presents two examples of migratory labor policy, based on the experiences of Central American agricultural laborers in the southern border of Mexico and of moroccans in France. It analyzes the models of guest workers in the framework of a critical analysis of the current main schemes of «managing» human mobility that require these migrants to permanently «circulate», and whose bureaucratic conditions lead to labor and social instability. We offer a comparative study of two international work permit contexts within the labor market of intensive agro-industrial production of sugar cane in Chiapas (mexican case) and of tomatoes in the Bouches-du-Rhône region (french case). This paper reviews the Migrant Frontier Worker Pass project (FMTF) and the Office of International Migrations (OMI) temporary contract scheme to demonstrate the utilitarian logic and repressive tendencies of migratory policies, revealing how the international division of labor functions.
