Abstract: This research describes the conditions that have worked in the migration process of the native people from Guerrero to the United States of America. The emigration of people settled in different areas of Guerrero, such as the northern part (Taxco de Alarcon) and the emerging region represented by areas located in the Costa Chica de Guerrero (San Marcos) are analyzed. Inherent factors to the conditions and to the context of the emigration as well as the consequences of this phenomenon affecting the native people of Guerrero, here and across borders are identified after the diaspora to the American Union, namely: migration networks and destination cities remittances. The analysis is based on the concept transnationalism, understood as the practice deployed by individuals and their social networks and communities of origin; the central element that defines the dynamics of migrant relates to the way in which social and cultural spaces are built, and how learning and adaptation is influenced by both economic and social changes.
