Tamaulipas presenta una larga tradición de emigración de su población rural a los Estados Unidos en busca de empleos agrarios. Hasta los años ochenta los trabajadores indocumentados tamaulipecos cruzaban la frontera sin muchas dificultades. Sin embargo, a partir de los años noventa, como resultado de una política de contención de la emigración ilegal centrada únicamente del lado de la oferta, el cruce de la frontera se torna más problemático, y los inmigrantes se ven obligados a contratar de forma generalizada los servicios de “polleros”. Este artículo analiza el impacto de la militarización de la frontera en la emigración irregular de trabajadores rurales tamaulipecos que buscan empleos agrarios en Estados Unidos.
