After being for many decades a safe haven for asylum seekers and having an open arms policy towards migrants, Mexico has become an important part of the United States migration policy as a co-enforcer. To comply with the pressures of different American administrations who had demanded a tougher migration policy to reduce the flow of migrants and asylum seekers bound to the U.S., Mexico militarized its border with Guatemala with a thousand of National Guards in the recent years, doing bigger and constant raids, stalling humanitarian visas and literally closed its doors to migrant caravans, having as a result of externalization of the U.S. borders all the way to south Mexico along with the anti-migration practices that characterize the southern border of the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the United States express deportations to Mexico under the “Migrant Protection Protocol” and now under “Title 42” has put at risk the lives of the asylums seekers who has to wait months for asylum hearings in makeshift camps in dangerous borders cities, usually controlled by drug cartels and corrupt authorities. As a result, a physical, administrative, psychological, and bi-national multi-layered barrier has been built to close the doors to migrants and asylum seekers coming from all parts of the world. The United States through its policy of denying asylum and Mexico as co-enforcer are building new layers of the wall for those most in need of the right to asylum, today more than ever the politics of the borders do not understand the need to flee to save the life, they are trapped in a bureaucracy alien to these realities making them increasingly distant from human rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
