Unauthorized: control y movilidad de trabajadores inmigrantes indocumentados

Abstract

In this article I resume the act of migrating. That act that, most of the time is presented by the subjects themselves and by those who realize the migration phenomenon, as a rational calculation that is more in the field of economics than in that of politics and I confront it with the conditions of undocumented immigrant workers (unauthorized) as value producers in a society in which they are stripped of their political rights and, in the extreme, of their fundamental and inalienable human rights. I am interested in analyzing the forms acquired by the relative overpopulation in the restructuring of the accumulation regime in the United States since the recession of the economy in 2009 and what is the political status of insertion of Mexican and Central American workers in that country. Likewise, it is necessary to unite this reflection with the ways in which immigrant populations, necessary for the neoliberal restructuring of the current accumulation regime, are presented as a surplus of political society and used intensively for the extraction of profits in contemporary capitalism. This allows us to theoretically denounce the forms of presentation of the class domination process as “apolitical” and bring into account the forms of political economy criticism as urgent.
