CHAPTER

Complexities of Immigration at the Border

This chapter explores the evolving landscape of immigration law at the U.S.-Mexico border, distinctly highlighting the differences between Mexican migrants and those classified as other than Mexican. It examines the historical context of increased asylum seekers from Central America, logistical challenges in processing, and the emergence of gang violence rooted in U.S. foreign policy. Through a narrative of the 2014 crisis, it uncovers the significant impact of U.S. actions on Central American societies and the resulting influx of vulnerable populations seeking refuge.
