IZCARA PALACIOS, Simón Pedro  e  ANDRADE RUBIO, Karla Lorena. Inmigración y trabajo irregular en la agricultura: trabajadores tamaulipecos en Estados Unidos y jornaleros magrebíes en Andalucía. Mundo agr. [online]. 2004, vol.4, n.8, pp.00-00. ISSN 1515-5994.

In the United States and in Spain, the shortage of local labor willing to accept the conditions prevailing in the farming sector, and also the difficulties to inspect and to regulate a sector where the mobility of workers is permanent, has resulted in a mounting number of undocumented migrant workers, who are employed in the farming sector. In the United States, labor demand in the farming sector is satisfied principally by Mexican workers. In Spain migrant workers employed in agriculture come principally from Morocco.  This article, based on a qualitative methodology, analyzes, on the one hand, the social conditions of Moroccan workers employed in Andalusia's agriculture, region situated in the south of Spain. On the other hand, examines the social situation of Tamaulipas' seasonal farmworkers, region situated in the northeast of Mexico, employed in the United States in the farming sector.

Palavras-chave : Migration; labor; agriculture; undocumented; seasonal farmworkers.
