BARRACHINA LISON, Carlos; RAMOS GARCIA, José María  and  RAMOS VALENCIA, Jimmy Emmanuel. Security, Migration and Immigration Control Policies in the United States: 2018-2022.

This article aims to analyze the results of the border security policy agendas of the federal governments of the United States and Mexico, as well as the consequences of migration management, in terms of integrating various aspects such as everyday coexistence in the northern and southern borders of Mexico reflected, among other things, by documented transit; as well as the historical sequence of migrant detentions at different border points in Mexico and in the southern United States. The 2022 U.S. electoral process heightened a nationalist vision that fostered a policy of greater immigration control, reflected in a higher number of undocumented immigrant detentions.

Keywords : border security; migration management; United States-Mexico border; immigrant detentions; electoral process.
