The Andrés Manuel López Obrador administration has had to manage migration in transit through Mexican territory - including migrant caravans - facing the demands of the Donald Trump government that Mexico prevent migrants from reaching US territory. The objective of this work is to analyze the changes and continuities in immigration policy during the first year of López Obrador through a documentary review and analysis of the data from administrative records. In addition, two key aspects of this policy are reviewed: the containment of migration and the protection of migrants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of 2018, several migrant caravans entered to Mexico with the purpose of reaching to United States. Their members, mostly from the so-called North of Central America --especially from Honduras-- were fleeing poverty and violence in their countries of origin. This work analyzes the migratory strategies in transit of the participants in such caravans to overcome the obstacles on their way to the North, especially through Mexico. For this purpose, 47 interviews were conducted to Central American people in temporary shelters in the city of Tijuana, Baja California. We conclude that participation in such caravans constituted a new migratory strategy in transit that reveals, as well as challenges, the agency's capacity of migrants to achieve their migratory objectives.

The objective of this paper is to analyze the use of euphemisms in discourses of the National Institute of Migration (INM) regarding its policy on migration in irregular transit through Mexican territory. To achieve this, a qualitative analysis of euphemisms is performed as conceptual metaphors in press releases of the INM and its purposes. We conclude that the use of euphemisms in the discourses of the INM implies the concealment and the misrepresentation of reality that constitute its migratory control actions to the detriment of migrants in transit.

The objective of this work is to detect and analyze the discomforts that parents experience when they are separated from their children after being deported. Based on five interviews of Mexican men deported from the United States to the border city of Tijuana, Baja California, we explored the discomforts that these men eventually experienced due to the physical separation of their children in relation to being parents and the mandates of providing and being emotional with them. Additionally, we reflect from a mainly theoretical perspective on the discomforts of men in fatherhood, especially in the case of paternities at a distance. The parents interviewed showed discomfort and other illnesses because they were not close to their children to provide them, take care of them, enjoy themselves and establish an affectionate relationship with them. The conclusions obtained, although preliminary, reveal directions for future investigations on paternity and deportation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to analyze metaphors and their persuasive function in journalistic discourses in favor of migrants in irregular transit through Mexico. To do this, conceptual metaphors used in texts on Central American transit migration in the Mexican national press of 2014 will be analyzed. Likewise, the metaphor is discussed as a mechanism of persuasion through the appeal to emotions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this article is to analyze the restrictive and persecutory policies of the state of Arizona and Maricopa County between 2005 and 2013, as well as their effects on Mexican families residing in the state. The author argues that these policies have put into practice the attrition-through-enforcement strategy (ate). Based on document review and interviews carried out in Phoenix, Arizona, he analyzes three types of policies: 1) exclusion from benefits and public services; 2) restricted access to certain labor market niches; and 3) sanctioning, criminalizing, and promoting deportation.

Setting immigration policy is reserved for the federal government in both Mexico and the United States. However, de facto, the states in both countries carry out certain immigration policies. Chiapas and Arizona have both faced challenges in this area. The government of Arizona has followed an anti-immigrant logic, while the government of Chiapas has focused on the defense of migrants' human rights. The aim of this article is to understand the practically opposite roles played by these two states in managing immigration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From 2004 to 2010, Arizona's administrations and Congresses implemented a broad series of policies against undocumented immigrants, including the passage of more than 40 laws. This article analyzes the reasons for the existence and restrictive sense of the harshest of all these laws, Arizona SB 1070. The author analyzes both its approval by voters and the motivations of political leaders for passing it. He argues that this law is the result of electoral interests and promoting a state-and nationwide anti-immigrant agenda with voter support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
