• Resumen

  • This paper examines the meaning of the sharp change of migration policy in Mexico in mid-2019. The purpose of the change was to exert greater control of migrants and borders. The paper starts by contrasting this change with the initial positions of President López Obrador’s government; positions close to humanitarian and human rights perspectives.

    Then, it explores short-term effects and potential long-term implications, in terms of opportunities and challenges of such a change, it also examines future directions of Mexican migration policy in the context of a new government in the United States.
