摘要
最先移居墨西哥的华侨,一是来自美国的华侨再移民,二是直接来自广东“四邑”地区的华侨。他们聚居在墨美边境的墨西哥一侧,后来逐渐散布到其他各州,但墨西哥西北边境一带始终是墨西哥华侨的中心聚居地。与此同时,边境一带存在着相当多的以此为跳板可能伺机移居美国的华侨,导致墨西哥华侨人数一直保持不稳定状态,但西北边境一带以唐人街为中心的华侨社会也逐渐形成,且愈益扩大。随着墨西哥西北边境一带的不断开发,以墨西卡利谷地为中心,居住在边境地带的华商与边界上的美国一侧和墨西哥其他地方维持着正常贸易往来。华侨为居住地的经济发展做出了巨大的贡献。
The earliest overseas Chinese in Mexico came from both the United States as re-migrants,and the“Four Counties”of Guangdong Province as the direct migrants.They lived in one side of Mexico of the Mexico-U.S.A.boundary,and then distributed gradually over other states,but the northwestern frontier of Mexico was constantly the central inhabited region of overseas Chinese.At the same time,there were quite overseas Chinese who had been taking the northwestern frontier as a springboard to enter the United States by chances.It resulted in an unstable quantity of overseas Chinese,and in an overseas Chinese community in which centered on the China towns,and also,gradually formed and developed in the northwestern frontier of Mexico.With the continuous development in the northwestern frontier,the Chinese merchants resided over there,based on the center of Mexican Valley,kept a normal trade with one side of the United States of the boundary and other states of Mexico.They made indelible contributions to the local economic development.
