How Mexico Acquired Border Security from the US: Militarizing the Journey
This book explores the partnership between Mexico and the United States that led to the militarization of Mexico's southern border, turning it into a key enforcement zone against Central American migration. Through gripping narratives and critical analysis, the book reveals how these policies pushed vulnerable migrants into perilous, shadowed routes, where they face threats from gangs, corruption, and systemic failures.
Tracing the roots of these developments back to pivotal moments in 2014, the book examines how U.S. funding, influence, and security strategies shifted Mexico's migration control into a frontline enforcement mechanism. It uncovers the human cost of this collaboration, the erosion of humanitarian protections, and the ripple effects on sovereignty, responsibility, and global human rights.
From the crises in Central America to the unintended consequences of policy enforcement, *How Mexico Acquired Border Security from the US* sheds light on a complex web of geopolitical decisions, systemic challenges, and the resilience of migrants who risk everything for hope and safety. A must-read for those seeking to understand the intersections of migration, security, and human dignity.
