| description | Mexican migration to the United States has been dropping drastically in the last 13 years, which is linked to the 2008 economic crisis, the repressive policies of the United States as well as the demographic aging in Mexico. However, this slowdown does not affect countries of the northern triangle of Central America where the dire economic and social situation is pushing families onto the roads of exile. These displacements are accompanied by a transformation of mobility, from clandestine move in order to elude border control to a strategy of visibility both to avoid the dangers of crossing Mexico clandestinely and to seek international protection. In this article we mobilize various sources of quantitative data, the records of border detentions by U.S. authorities and the continuous surveys carried out on migrants at the borders of Mexico (Emif). This socio-demographic perspective of analyzing the evolutions of the last 15 years shows that the migratory flows at the US border have been radically transformed: undocumented Mexican workers have been replaced by Central American asylum-seeking families. |
