Abstract: The present investigation reflects on the type of capitalism in which the current migratory phenomenon in Mexico is inserted. It is argued that there is an implicit relationship between neoliberalism, migration, citizenship and the state. A process in which the political links woven around the state are blurred and the rights of people become commodified or lose their meaning progressively. In this sense, capitalism "chupacabra", is fixed in the depredations of the bodies of migrants. It is theorized that this new form of voracious capitalism rushes in four ways on migrants: 1) it depoliticizes their human rights and citizenship; 2) remove the leftover bodies; 3) Recategorizes them as a threat to the state and society and therefore makes them subject to violence or neutralization by any State agent or para-state actors, and; 4) finally, it pushes them towards consumption and towards clandestine work, which in turn, at its maximum expression, diminishes almost completely the demands that can be made in the State to make visible or denounce their living conditions.
