Resumen
After 40 years of a long rising emigration from Mexico to the United
States, the number of Mexicans increased to 12 million in 2006,
while the increased input of remittances reached $26 million dollars
in 2007. Yet, the increasing migration and remittances mainly in
Zacatecas and Michoacan states do not achieve economic and social
development because of the persistent backwardness, unemployment
and marginalization. It demands the need for new Policies of
Development, Migration and Human Rights that allow exercising
the right to not emigrate in a medium term. Positive products of this
long migration are the Mexican Migrant Clubs and their Federations
that elaborated the concrete development proposals. Whereas, the
possibility that these proposals can become a Development, Migration
and Human Rights, Comprehensive and Long Term State Policy will
depend on the capacity and participation of Mexican Civil Society and
the Transnational Communities in both countries.
