“…Although status as MPP returnees implies that they are legally allowed to work in Mexico, most people under MPP were unable to find jobs or found temporary, precarious employment, in many cases under conditions of exploitation (Colef 2020; MSF 2020; OIM 2020). MPP not only forced people to remain in Mexico but also to remain in place, restricting international mobility and also impacting their possibilities to move even within waiting spaces, as well as to access basic services, find employment, and integrate into the local communities (Albicker and Velasco 2016; París Pombo 2020; París Pombo and Díaz Carnero 2020; Colef 2021; Velasco 2021).…”

This paper explores the ways in which contemporary mobility dynamics in Mexico have changed over the last decade, leading to protracted displacement. It focuses on three populations: (1) the internally displaced due to violence; (2) Mexican nationals returning from the United States, both voluntarily and due to deportation; and (3) populations seeking asylum in Mexico and the United States. These three populations are not usually analyzed together and do not squarely fall under the traditional legal definitions. The paper outlines ways that situations of protracted displacement and insecurity present challenges in four interconnected arenas of life: housing, legal status, employment, and emotional well-being. For governments and local communities, protracted displacement requires immediate humanitarian responses and the development and implementation of public policies focused on integration. The paper concludes with a set of policy recommendations based on its findings.

“…As noted in the introduction, the time that international migrants remain in Mexico is defined by multiple direct policy decisions. The establishment of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) known as “Remain in Mexico” ( López Reyes, 2020 , París Pombo and Díaz Carnero, 2009 ) has enabled the systematic expulsion of asylum seekers to the Mexican border cities ( Cerón, 2020 , Griffiths, 2014 ). In this manner, according to estimates by human rights groups, United States authorities had returned 27,500 asylum seekers to the Tijuana-Mexicali region by January 2020 ( Pachico and Meyer, 2020 ).…”

“…In the past 5 years, cities on the Mexican northern border have received extraordinary flows of foreign and Mexican migrants in transit to and from the United States, with even more complex and diversified profiles and needs including people from various countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Haiti), an increase in the presence of children and adolescents, women traveling alone with their children, and more families displaced by violence within Mexico. At the same time, the implementation of security, immigration, and health policies by the U.S. and Mexico transformed this border into the last filter to contain these flows ( 2 , 13 – 20 ).…”

BackgroundElements associated with an increased risk factor for the contagion of COVID-19 in shelters include the turnover and overcrowding of people, time spent in communal areas, daily supply needs, water availability, and sanitation levels. The “Report on the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Migrants and Refugees,” shows that factors such as the shortage of food, supplies, water, sanitizing materials, spaces for healthy distancing, financial resources for rent and essential services, and the lack of medical or psychological care complicated providing care for migrants and applicants seeking international protection.ObjectiveWe describe shelter operations regarding the detection and follow-up of suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases showing mild symptoms among the migrant population housed in the border cities under study.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews with study subjects (people in charge, managers, coordinators, shelter directors) from 22 migrant shelters, and 30 with key informants. We studied the cities of Tijuana (Baja California), Nogales (Sonora), Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua), Piedras Negras (Coahuila), and Heroica Matamoros (Tamaulipas). The research was based on a qualitative methodological design with an ethnographic approach. The information collected was transcribed and systematized into two tables or analytical templates, one for interviews with study subjects, and another for interviews with key actors.FindingsOverall, seventy-eight registered shelters provided accommodation services for migrants in the five cities the study focused on: thirty-seven in Tijuana, five in Nogales, twenty-two in Ciudad Juárez, eight in Piedras Negras, and five plus a camp (six in total) in Matamoros. The major concentration of shelters was in Tijuana (47.4%) and Ciudad Juárez (28.2%). At the beginning of the pandemic, only a few shelter facilities met quarantine and isolation guidelines, such as having separate bathrooms and sufficient space to isolate the “asymptomatic” and “confirmed” from close “contacts”. The lack of isolation space and the inability to support the monitoring of patients with COVID-19 posed a challenge for those housed in shelters, forcing many shelters to close or continue operating behind closed doors to avoid becoming a source of infection during the pandemic.Discussion and outlookContrary to speculation, during the onset of the pandemic northern border migrant shelters did not become sources of COVID-19 infection. According to the data analyzed from 78 shelters only seven had confirmed cases, and the classification of “outbreak” was applied only in two facilities. Contagion control or containment was successful as the result of following a preventive containment logic, including the isolation of all suspected but unconfirmed cases, without a clear understanding of the human and financial resources required to maintain isolation areas. However, shelters in the study implemented protocols for epidemiological surveillance, control, and prevention with elements that interfered with monitoring spaces, and processes that caused oversights that resulted in underestimating the number of cases.LimitationsDue to travel restrictions imposed to prevent and contain coronavirus infections it was impossible to stay on-site in the cities studied, except for Tijuana, or carry-out recordings of migrants' views in shelters.
