“…Las entrevistas de temores fundados en la frontera suroeste de Estados Unidos aumentaron de 9 000 casos en 2010 a 79 000 en 2017 (Meissner et al, 2018, p. 2). El crecimiento extraordinario de solicitudes de asilo llevó a que las autoridades migratorias estadounidenses iniciaran un proceso de regulación extraoficial de las entradas (metering) que obligó a los solicitantes a esperar en la frontera norte de México (París Pombo & Montes, 2021).…”

Con base en las teorías sobre las infraestructuras migratorias y la industria de la migración, este artículo analiza la instalación y desarrollo de instituciones para la ayuda humanitaria a solicitantes de asilo en la frontera norte de México. Describe tres tipos de instituciones y procedimientos que fueron creados entre 2019 y 2021 en Ciudad Juárez y en Tijuana: Centros Integradores para Migrantes administrados por el gobierno federal, hoteles filtro dirigidos por la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones y el sistema CONECTA coordinado por el Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados. Se muestran los efectos de la subcontratación de actores no estatales y agencias internacionales para la ejecución del control migratorio y de la asistencia humanitaria, así como las consecuencias del humanitarismo en las políticas de seguridad.

Dreamers Moms and Their Struggle for Legal Reunification: Maternal Acts of Public Disclosure as a Form of Constructive Resistance

Maternal activism is a long tradition in Latin America. Its research focuses on how women mobilize their identity as mothers to take the streets to reclaim their rights, their children’s, and their families’, and ultimately to resist the actions of the State. However, how does this maternal activism manifest itself when motherhood and deportation intersect? Drawing on our ongoing ethnographic research with Dreamers Moms (DM), a grassroots organization in Tijuana, Mexico composed by Mexican women, we argue that the acts displayed by members of DM are part of an ample repertoire of what Orozco Mendoza (2019) refers to as “maternal acts of public disclosures” through which these women engage in a form of constructive resistance. Rather than trying to change the world order and, particularly, the unjust U.S. migration policy, these women, by performing these acts, seek to achieve two goals: to fight against being stripped of their humanity and dignity as they were violently expelled from the U.S. due to their deportation, and to avoid the invisibility and otherization of their subjectivity once they become deported mothers.
