Mexico’s migration policy towards Central America and US pressure
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
In recent years, the Mexican government has strengthened its control of Central American migration as a part of the United States’ policy based on establishing growing obstacles to immigration. US measures indicate that the process of capital accumulation in the North American economy has given rise to the creation of a reserve army of labor of a such scale that capitalization can take place with no need to turn to immigration. As immigration becomes more and more inconvenient, we witness growing pressure on Mexico’s Government to implement measures aimed at limiting the entrance and movement of Central American migrants going to United States. A consequence of this strategy is an increase of the infringement of the migrants’ human rights, while the social conditions in their countries of origin do not improve.
