Kuvaus:The article aims to characterize the process of historical construction of the pernicious foreigner in the period from 1894 to 1936 in order to show how the expulsion mechanism was used as a political tool that sought to control and purge immigration in the country. Above all, the text defends the argument that this mechanism worked against a specific segment of the population, the working class and its implementation shows the intention to contain the worker's associativism, as well as the development of socialist ideas considered contrary to national morality. To support this approach, we work with primary sources from the National Archive of Costa Rica and Historic National Archive of Spain, selecting those administrative files opened for the crime of disturbance of public tranquility, complementing the analysis with current legislation on the subject and the literature on labor disputes. The study focuses on the cities of San José and Limón because they are the ones where the cases found are concentrated.
