This article analyzes the Mennonite migration process from the arid plains of Chihuahua in northern Mexico to South America's Santa Cruz in Bolivia, associating intensive use of underground water resources to migration as a trigger. The analysis in this research suggests that the Mennonite migration model has found social conditions in Latin American countries, particularly in their transition from Mexico to Bolivia, that has allowed it to flourish. The results indicate opportunities for devising social integration policies that promote environmental sustainability at the Mennonite migration host communities.

This work examines medical services providers' spatial location patterns at the Mexican cities in the us Mexico border as a case study. Formal statistical methods are applied using data sources for each side of the border with the primary source being the National Statistic Directory of Economic Units (denue) published by the Mexican Census Bureau. Results identify the following specific medical services activities with particular relative concentrations at the border city scale: private dental offices (naics code 621211) ci= 1.32, general medicine private offices (naics code 621111) ci = 1.16, private medical diagnostics labs (naics code 621511) ci = 1.02, and private general hospitals (naics code 621398) ci = 1.03. In addition a cluster pattern around border Crossings was found for the largest city included in the study. Results suggest that trans-border health care needs in the region represent a binational integration mechanism with social opportunities for the local populations.

Este trabajo analiza la inserción de la población de origen mexicano en el mercado laboral en San Antonio, Texas; en particular, responde a la interrogante sobre los determinantes del empleo en empresas propias formalmente registradas. La metodología analiza microdatos de la encuesta americana de comunidades (ACS, por sus siglas en inglés) mediante la herramienta estadística de estimación logística. Los principales resultados indican que atributos como el dominio del idioma inglés o el origen de la persona podrían contribuir al entendimiento de la inserción en el mercado laboral de la población de origen mexicano que vive en Estados Unidos y no necesariamente cons tituyen barreras para la inserción en el mercado laboral bajo la categoría de autoempleo en ciudades de migración tradicional como San Antonio, Texas.
