This is a qualitative-descriptive study that describes specific axes regarding the recent migration from Central America and the Caribbean in Baja California, as well as linguistic needs that the deported immigrants in the last months of 2017 due to the rigorous migration policy of President of the Unites States of America, Donald J.
