description This article analyses the incorporation of new technologies for migration and border surveillance in Argentina (1981-2001). In methodological terms, information was taken from official documents (decrees, contracts, and public tenders), as well as from semi-structured interviews with personnel from the Ministry of the Interior and the National Directorate of Migration. The interventions of specialists and parliamentary experts who participated in the Population and Human Resources Commission of the Chamber of Deputies between 2000 and 2002 were also considered. The findings suggest that the incorporation of new technologies for migration and border control reflect the prevalence of long-term standardised measures related to the processes of securitisation of “border immigration” that would be aimed at protecting the “social order” in Argentina.

In methodological terms, information was taken from official documents (decrees, contracts, and public tenders), as well as from semi-structured interviews with personnel from the Ministry of the Interior and the National Directorate of Migration.

Este artículo analiza la incorporación de las nuevas tecnologías para la vigilancia de las migraciones y las fronteras en Argentina durante 1981-2001. En términos metodológicos, se tomó información de documentos oficiales (decretos, contratos y concursos públicos), así como de entrevistas semiestructuradas a personal del Ministerio del Interior y la Dirección Nacional de Migraciones. También se tuvo en cuenta las intervenciones de especialistas y parlamentarios expertos que participaron en la Comisión de Población y Recursos Humanos de la Cámara de Diputados entre 2000 y 2002. Los hallazgos sugieren que la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías para el control migratorio y fronterizo se relacionan, por un lado, con la prevalencia de medidas estandarizadas de legibilidad en el largo plazo, y por otro, con los procesos de securitización de la “inmigración limítrofe” que estarían destinadas a proteger el “orden social” en Argentina.
