          Abstract

          Este artículo aborda las percepciones de los habitantes de Georgia hacia los migrantes mexicanos que empezaron a llegar ahí en la década de los noventa. Los objetivos son identificar las áreas de fricción, pero también visibilizar los momentos de encuentro, a partir de los cuales los migrantes mexicanos y los estadunidenses construyen vínculos de conocimiento y reconocimiento mutuos. El análisis se centra en la percepción de muchos estadunidenses de que los migrantes constituyen una carga para el sistema económico estadunidense; que los migrantes aumentan la criminalidad; y que la ilegalidad de los migrantes es el principal factor de rechazo. Finalmente, se abordan los puntos de vista de los mexicanos sobre la convivencia con los estadunidenses de la localidad.

          Translated abstract

          This article deals with Georgia residents' perceptions of the Mexican migrants who began to arrive there in the 1990s. Its objectives are to identify sources of friction, but also to visualize moments in which people come together, based on which Mexican immigrants and U.S. citizens can build links of mutual knowledge and recognition. The analysis centers on many Americans' perception that migrants are a burden to the U.S. economy, that they increase criminality, and that their illegal status is the main reason they are rejected. Finally, it delves into the Mexicans' views of their experience living among Americans in the area.
