This book is meant to be a reflection on U.S. presidentialism regarding migration issues. The authors analyze President Joe Biden´s first actions on immigration, in a dual exercise of comparison with his predecessor, Donald Trump, and a prospective analysis of what his chances are to be able to improve current immigration policy and further reinstate the U.S. as a moral power. The objective of this book is to culturally translate the U.S. tradition of analyzing the president's first hundred days in power into a more regional and long-term reading of what Biden has achieved, even though it is not always visible, for migrants in general and specifically for Latin Americans.According to Pécoud’s abstract model (2021b: 106), U.S. migration policy, both under Trump and Biden, is part of a “global anti-migrant governance system” that tries to control large flows from poor to rich countries by enhancing border control and border externalization, and expelling unwanted migrants. As the chapters included in this book will analyze, most migrants are unaware of the political maneuvers used to manage migration, becoming victims of an economic system that exploits labor at the expense of human rights
Canada
No full textIn this article, we proceed as follows. First, we describe trends in highly skilled Mexican migration and suggest some possible demographic and economic factors. We discuss changes in destinations for Mexicans within the U.S. to illustrate the variability of migration over time. Finally, we present a preliminary picture of some perspectives skilled Mexicans bring to the decision to migrate to Canada or the U.S., based on recent interviews we conducted in Mexico City
Los afroamericanos: una agenda de reparación y justicia racial
No full textLa parte nuclear del capítulo consiste en analizar tres demandas clave de la agenda de la minoría afroamericana: la desigualdad económica, el racismo institucional y la criminalización en el sistema judicial. En torno a la primera se exploran sus percepciones sobre la acción afirmativa y su papel en el sistema de seguridad social. Sobre el racismo institucional y la criminalización del colectivo se plantean sus demandas por una reforma al sistema de justicia y la revitalización de la acción colectiva de Black Lives Matter (Las vidas de los negros importan). Analizar la forma en cómo llevan a la política formal y presionan por cambios institucionales en torno a estas demandas permitirá hacer un balance sobre su posición, sus grados de representación descriptiva y sustantiva y su influencia
United States/ México Migration trends, policies, and border management
No full textWe propose an analysis rooted in the recognition of the intersectional effect of colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism as systems that structure necropolitical frameworks, defined as “the set of policies and laws enacted to produce situations, moments, and spaces that force people to leave their homes or pressure them into situations and spaces of death” (Estévez, 2018: 2)
United States/ México Migration trends, policies, and border management
No full textThis chapter analyzes the role and impact of binational border policy in the Twenty-First Century Border Management Initiative from its beginnings, questioning whether its lessons were taken into account for managing COVID-19 by using a policy to strengthen sanitary protocols along the binational border instead of closing the U.S. border to Mexican border residents with a U.S. visa. While the restrictive policy would in principle be only two months long, it was actually put in place permanently for regulating the risks of contagion along the world’s most dynamic border
Introduction
No full textThe book has twelve chapters, which look at different aspects of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican migratory policies, as well as some that deal with Mexico-U.S. border management. We also include chapters on social and cultural issues in order to achieve a pluri- and interdisciplinary vision from academics from the three countries. Despite having made a broad, ambitious call, we recognize that it was not possible to bring together academics specialized in certain topics important for understanding these migratory policies and border issues, which are not included. However, we believe that this book includes important issues among the themes proposed in the colloquium meeting and that it will enrich knowledge about the North American region. Using the essays that were presented and duly peer reviewed, we have divided the book into four sections: “Canada”; “United States/Mexico Migration Trends, Policies, and Border Management”; “Cultural Representations through Cinema and Narratives”; and “History as an Epilogue.” In the “Canada” section, we include three chapters that analyze Trump’s immigration policy and its consequences for undocumented migration to Canada, trends in Mexican migration to Canada, and skilled migration in North America
Valores y compromisos de la gobernanza de la educación superior de Estados Unidos: una visión histórica
No full textEn este capítulo, analizaremos cómo se han modificado las ideas, valores y compromisos de estas IES en torno a la gobernanza, desde las primeras universidades hasta el giro neoliberal. La instauración de este modelo económico hizo que países como Estados Unidos repensaran a las universidades privadas y públicas como espacios de generación de conocimiento y promoción de la innovación en un nivel competitivo a nivel internacional.
Hablaremos sobre la transformación experimentada por las IES durante
las últimas tres décadas con el fin de ajustarse a las necesidades de un mercado competitivo en la búsqueda por impulsar una nueva apertura económica de la sociedad en su conjunto y de las universidades según los mandatos del neoliberalismo
