As of 2018 in Sinaloa State there were 946,868 people in poverty and 82, 305 people who live in extreme poverty, and they lack a lot of basics: health, education, food, social security, housing and basic services. Undoubtedly the problem of poverty in Sinaloa is serious, and it is because of this situation that several inhabitants of the poorest zones of Sinaloa, have no other choice than to migrate to the United States, given that not even activities like agriculture for exports or fishing solve their economic problems. However, the topic of migrant women with an H2B temporary work visa, in Mexico and Sinaloa, has seldom been addressed. The goal is to know through the migratory history of a “topeña” with an H2B temporary work visa, the life and working conditions at the crab pulping, catfish filleting and crawfish peeling companies at Louisiana, United States. We conclude that not having a bilateral agreement between the Mexican and the American government, neither instance regulates the working relationships, and from there the living and working conditions at the seafood companies gets to be tantamount to slavery, due to the fact that they are made to work up to 14 hours per day and they get paid by the piece and not by the hour as the labor laws from the United States stipulate. |
