Abstract: A new migration form appeared in the 1980s, structured by the relation transmigration/globalization as an alternative to immigration/nation. As in ancestral peddling, the trip of the migrants takes the form of a pendulum migration of a few days to several months, during which they trade in various countries products bought tax-free in others. With the 2000s appeared a new worldwide market « poor to poor », or « for the poor, by the poor », from the combined interests of major electronic companies from Southeast Asia seeking tax-free exportation of their products, criminal organization willing to launder the money from drug traffic and poor migrants ready to trade these products. This article describes the genesis of this phenomenon, on the basis of numerous empirical research.
