Emigrantes colombianos en el sur de la Florida: el recibimiento es poco acogedor.

This text is based upon a pilot project undertaken by Florida International University that seeks to explain the significant migratory flux of Colombians to southern Florida between 1996 and 2002, and the reasons for their prompt return. The author explores the different theoretical perspectives that have sought to provide answers to this phenomenon, determined by a variety of political, economic and social factors. It is argued that in order to capture the complexity of said factors, one must employ interdisciplinary theories similar to the extensive theory of equilibrium.
