The present article presents the results of analysis undertaken on the political postures taken on the subject of migration in the discourse of the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, revealing the discursive perspective of the national project (2018-2024) as a framework for migration policy. The emphasis of the present study demonstrates the fluctuations in the treatment of the migratory phenomenon in 2019, in the context of tensions and conflicting interests among Mexico, the United States, and Central America. The main findings show the evolution of topics in the political discourse that, in either stability or collapse, point to the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of a new focus for migration management. The present article concludes by highlighting new potential lines of empirical enquiry in the evaluation of public policy.

Keywords : Policy; discourse; AMLO; migrant as object; migrant as subject.
