Abstract
This article aims to analyze the meanings of the Haitian presence in the Amazon border, seeking to understand there actions to this presence, both, from the Brazilian government and the local society view. Besides of this, it pretends to explain the vision of Haitians on humanitarian visa and their expectations about brazilian labor market. From this context, the concept of “governmentality”, which implies a link between social and physical boundaries, could help us understand the contradictions in the management of this migratory flow, showing that hosting practices are indeed an out spread of migration control policies.
