    La insistencia en la solidaridad en la red social de migrantes, se debe a que esta es el factor de capital social que se mantiene a lo largo y ancho de las relaciones en la red de migrantes. Desde que un individuo decide trasladarse fuera de su país de origen y solicita información mediante diferentes canales, su solicitud es respondida de manera tácita por el conglomerado de la red mediante las posibilidades de acceder a sus diferentes recursos (Borge, 2005, p. 7).

    The name of the author can be placed, to option of the writer, at the end of the appointment, as it acquired knowledge above, or in the beginning of the same one. The previous appointment can begin, for example thus: Borge (2005, p. 7) indicates that: (The textual appointment is placed next to it)
