It argues that Northern Central American asylum seekers are fleeing the contradictions of the hegemonic US-led neoliberal development model that depends on migration and remittances as its main source of hard currency. This article is grounded in structural/conjectural analysis and supported with quantitative methods. I suggest that the increase in asylum seekers is a function of US aid through the Central American Regional Security Initiative (CARSI), which contributes to the conditions that people flee and to US apprehensions of Guatemalan, Salvadoran, and Honduran nationals, leaving would-be migrants no choice but to apply for asylum. I conclude that the security and development model imposed on the region under the conditions of US hegemony, and US migration control policies designed to apprehend and deport asylum seekers are producing the very crisis they purport to resolve.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The turning back and expulsion of asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border transforms northern Mexican border cities into spaces of extraterritorial containment where asylum seekers form informal migrant camps and face exposure to violence, misinformation, and hindrances to due process. A spatial analytical lens and focus on Central American asylum seekers reveals how these strategies further endanger asylum seekers’ lives, stand in the way of humanitarian protection, and are met with resistance. By improving understanding of the threats to safety that asylum seekers face in and beyond their countries of origin, further research into the situation of repelled asylum seekers in Mexico should inform asylum proceedings and border policies.Estados Unidos implementó recientemente novedosas estrategias espaciales de control fronterizo que repelen a los solicitantes de asilo a México, obligándolos a esperar la oportunidad de solicitar asilo o procedimientos de asilo. El regreso y la expulsión de solicitantes de asilo en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México transforma las ciudades fronterizas del norte de México en espacios de contención extraterritorial donde los solicitantes de asilo forman campamentos informales de migrantes y enfrentan exposición a violencia, desinformación y obstáculos al debido proceso. Una lente analítica espacial y un enfoque en los solicitantes de asilo centroamericanos revela cómo estas estrategias ponen en peligro aún más las vidas de los solicitantes de asilo, obstaculizan la protección humanitaria y encuentran resistencia. Al mejorar la comprensión de las amenazas a la seguridad que enfrentan los solicitantes de asilo dentro y fuera de sus países de origen, una mayor investigación sobre la situación de los solicitantes de asilo rechazados en México serviría para mejor los procedimientos de asilo y las políticas fronterizas.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes these issues and seeks to explain them by looking beyond the immediate circumstances of the substantial increase in applications, mainly from Latin Americans, that has taken place in Spain since 2015. The deficiencies of the asylum system are explained in terms of the restrictive refugee paradigm employed by Spain and the European Union as a whole, as well as the development of a restricted, isolated reception model focused more on the initial assistance process than on social integration. Our analysis is based on two recent studies and provides empirical evidence in an area of study that has been scarcely addressed in Spain.El sistema de asilo español y su programa de acogida presentan problemas persistentes relacionados con el acceso al asilo y la tramitación de las solicitudes, el acceso y la intervención del sistema de acogida, y los procesos de integración de los solicitantes, marcados por la segregación social. El artículo analiza dichos problemas, y trata de explicarlos yendo más allá de la coyuntura del fuerte crecimiento de las solicitudes ocurrido en España desde el año 2015, protagonizado principalmente por solicitantes latinoamericanos. Se apunta, así, que los déficits del asilo se explican por la existencia de un paradigma restrictivo del refugio en España y en la UE, y el desarrollo de un modelo de acogida restringido, aislado y centrado en el proceso de atención inicial más que en la integración. El análisis se apoya en dos investigaciones realizadas recientemente, aportando evidencia empírica a un área de estudio poco estudiada en España.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143528392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The refugee system is a device though which mobility is controlled, and the militarization and securitization of Mexico’s southern border can be legitimized. One consequence of this process is the indefinite blocking of migrants and asylum seekers in the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, and its current transformation into a “city-prison.”A partir de un análisis geopolítico crítico, este artículo aborda la convergencia de las políticas de refugiados y de control migratorio en el sur de México en el marco de la externalización e internalización de las fronteras.

Our evidence, considered in light of recent scholarship on violence in Latin America, contradicts three assumptions that underly asylum decisions: 1) that gang violence in Honduras is indiscriminate; 2) that gang violence is motivated purely by instrumental motives (often described as “criminal” motives)—such as financial gain or competition for market share between criminal enterprises—rather than ideological motives; and 3) that gang members and society at large are not able to recognize which groups are likely targets.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is striking because unlike other Hondurans, Garifuna have a long history of largely documented US-bound migration. Recently, however, they have been transformed from transnational migrants into asylum seekers by being caught between “accumulation by racialized dispossession” accelerated by the expansion of agribusiness, tourism, and other extractivism in Honduras, and a US racialized immigration regime that has progressively closed the doors to legal migration, leaving asylum as one of the only options for those seeking refuge from direct persecution and structural violence. Garifuna are subjected to racialized rightlessness throughout the migration circuit, stripped of their right to land and dignified work in Honduras, persecuted for defending their land as Afro-Indigenous peoples, denied safe passage to the US, and forced to apply for asylum which they are unlikely to receive.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143452369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that the key driver of the decrease in caloric intake was the decline of more than nine-tenths in oil revenues, which sparked an economic contraction and forced the economy to undertake massive cuts in imports of food and agricultural inputs. Declining oil prices and a collapse in production, in part driven by economic sanctions, are the primary drivers of the collapse in import capacity. Econometric estimates using cross-national panel data show that Venezuela’s performance in health and nutrition indicators is in line with, and in many cases significantly better, than what we should expect given the magnitude of its contraction in per capita incomes over the past two decades.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on my longitudinal scholarly research on violence in Mexico, combined with experience as an expert witness in U.S. asylum cases for claimants from Mexico, I argue that Mexico’s inability to protect women and girls coexists with its democratic status and has direct implications on forced migration from Mexico to the United States. In addition, I exposit that expert witnesses play a significant role in illuminating gaps between legal protections and their application in practice.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143426929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
