CENTRAL AMERICANS IN MEXICO HEADING TO THE U.S. REFLECTIONS ON THE INSTITUTIONALITY OF THE MIGRATION PROCESS

María de Jesús Santiago Cruz

The paper analyzes the migratory process of Central Americans to the United States of America (USA) as they pass through Mexico. It examines the context of origin of migration, its dynamism and the behavior of the migration process observed in Mexico. The discussion of migration policy and management have a central place in the document, as well as the limitations it faces, or the way in which the repercussions are intertwined in the socio-economy of the Mexican borders.

BUILDING A COMMON IMMIGRATION AND ASYLUM POLICY, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?

Ruth Ferrero-Turrión

More than twenty years have passed since the 1999 Tampere European Council launched the project to build a common immigration and asylum policy. The main objective was to formulate a public policy that was balanced and that allowed the management of legal immigration, as well as controlling irregular migratory flows in equal parts. Furthermore, all of this would be governed by the principle of solidarity and equity in burden-sharing among the Member States.

BETWEEN GOVERNANCE, MIGRATION AND RESPECT FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF MIGRANTS

Rosario Martínez A

There is a dichotomy between the measures that recognize the positive contribution of migrants and migration management in the economic sphere of the country of origin, mainly. Faced with other measures that represent a reaction to migration and migrants as a harmful and threatening phenomenon for the countries of destination, and with the new migration trends, the vertical border is expanding, and the transit countries are gradually becoming the country of prolonged stay, as is the case in Mexico.

DOUBLE-EDGED MIGRATION POLICIES AND TRANSNATIONAL RENT-SEEKING INTERESTS

Akihiro Koido

There have been contradictory trends in migration policies in advanced countries since the 1990s: states have actively recruited desirable immigrants while they continued to deter and exclude unwanted migrants. The case of Japanese state not only represents this trend, but also shows a profoundly paradoxical case in the sense that it officially negated incorporation of “immigrants” consistently though it has built up multiple channels of transnational labor supply for their urgent needs. It is particularly so because Japan has maintained the divergent policies in the middle of well-known demographic crisis with aging population.
