Furthermore, this document explores how intersectional factors such as race, language, socioeconomic status, and citizenship shape medical mobility patterns. The research used ethnographic methods (in-depth interviews and participant observation) over a period of sixteen months (from May 2017 until September 2018) in Hidalgo County in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. The results of the research are an ethnographic understanding of the limits of citizenship for both documented and undocumented health care seekers in the border region, and the circumstances under which different border residents turn to bioconsumerism. The article’s conclusion makes a unique contribution to the literature by offering critical perspectives on relative privilege. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar cómo los procesos interseccionales configuran diferentes grados de movilidad médica a través de la frontera de EE. UU. y México. Este artículo explora cómo factores interseccionales (la raza, el idioma, el estatus socioeconómico y la ciudadanía) moldean los patrones de movilidad médica. La investigación utilizó métodos etnográficos (entrevistas en profundidad y observación participante) durante un periodo de dieciséis meses (desde mayo de 2017 hasta septiembre de 2018) en el Condado de Hidalgo en el Valle del Río Grande de Texas. Los resultados de la investigación son una comprensión etnográfica de los límites de la ciudadanía para los solicitantes de atención médica tanto documentados como no documentados en la región fronteriza, y las circunstancias en las que diferentes residentes de la frontera recurren al bioconsumerismo. La conclusión del artículo hace una contribución única a la literatura al ofrecer perspectivas críticas sobre el privilegio relativo.
