Mexico is a country of many contrasts. Its population is highly polarized politically, economically and educationally. The different social classes quite often do not interact with each other: do not go to the same schools, do not buy in the same markets, do not use the same public space, do not use the same transportation system, or attend the same hospitals.
Due to the large amount of migrants seeking better opportunities and safety, most of the people who arrive to Queretaro do not know the history of the city. Their integration into the city is more an economical than a social one. Therefore, many of the newcomers are not familiar with traditional barrios like the Tepetate neighborhood.
In addition to this lack of integration, undocumented immigrants from Central American arrive by train and are outcast by the locals. There is also a social conflict between some residents and the merchants who occupy street and accumulate waste on sidewalks.
