This article analyzes the contemporary conditions of returning of Mexican immigrants from the U.S. to Mexico, particularly in urban contexts. Firstly, it analyzes some demographical data of return population from the National Census of Population, 2000 and 2010. Secondly, it presents some biographical narratives about return experiences of people going back during the last decade, with the aim of offering empirical evidence about which are the conditions of social and labor re-insertion, how they are processing the re-emigration (international/domestic) or the settlement, and how such actors create their relocation strategies in urban contexts in Mexico.
