The political sphere has remarkably been affected by the massive migration flows of the last decades, especially with regard to the principle dimensions of social life. They left their marks on central features of the modern state, like the traditional notion of national sovereignty, the conception of citizenship or the cultural forms of collective identity and political loyalty. It is impossible to give an appropriate answer to the challenge of immigration without reconsidering the sense of these basic political notions.

In the population history of Veracruz, a state in southeastern Mexico and a maritime entry port to the country, the arrival of people to the region has been prevalent. However, in the 21st Century, Veracruz was incorporated into the international migration flows to the United States. In this context, the objective of this study is to analyze the recent flows of emigrants from Veracruz to the northern border of Mexico and the United States, as well as the dynamic of return migration and the immigration of foreigners. Taking a demographic and quantitative perspective, this research focuses on the decade from 2010 to 2020, with a specific emphasis on regional and municipal analysis. The results show that international emigration and immigration are phenomena that occur within specific regions and municipalities, and that, only in three out of ten regions do the departure and return of Veracruz residents and the arrival of foreigners to the state converge, particularly individuals from Central America and Venezuela.

En el año 2010, la legislatura de Arizona promulgó una de las leyes más duras de la nación respecto de los inmigrantes indocumentados: la Ley Arizona SB 1070. Algunos expertos argumentan que los entes subnacionales no deben aprobar políticas relacionadas con la inmigración a causa de los efectos negativos que las represalias de terceros países tendrían sobre las relaciones diplomáticas y económicas de Estados Unidos con aquéllos y sobre su propia economía. En sentido opuesto, Spiro (1994 y 2001) señala que en la actualidad los estados distinguen cuando una medida corresponde a un ente subnacional, dando respuestas focalizadas al mismo y no en contra del país en su conjunto. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar hasta qué punto el panorama actual de las relaciones entre México y Estados Unidos corresponde a una de estas dos perspectivas. Asimismo, se ubica esta discusión particular en el debate más amplio sobre si los estados de la Unión Americana podrían o deberían asumir un papel más activo en la gestión migratoria. Para el logro de estos objetivos se analizan las respuestas mexicanas frente a la aprobación de la SB 1070 y los efectos de la misma sobre las relaciones entre ambos países.

We want to share our experience in the constitution of an interdisciplinary and collaborative research group on the relationship between school, diversity and immigration in Catalunya, Spain. Our main purpose is to relate the perceptions and experiences based on our different educational experiences. Firstly teachers who work at the so called "aulas de acogida"—special resources directed to students of immigrant parents; secondly university researchers from pedagogy and psychology fields, thirdly, administrative staff who are mediating between educational policies and the practical reality of the schools, and finally the university and PhD students involved in our project.
These different voices allow us to interlace theoretical analyses with more practical others, as well as to delimit what kind of needs emerge from professional practice, and what tools seem to usefully facilititate our process. We believe that establishing bridges between university and schools is a fundamental aspect to promote a fruitful dialectical exchange. Therefore, we want to report our group's process and share our experiences in the analysis of these questions.
