| description | Human mobility has become an extremely complex phenomenon in Mexico, especially the undocumented transit of people from Central American countries to the United States, due to changes in patterns, dynamics of flows and the response of the State. The objective of this article is to describe the main state policies of border and migration control in Mexico that have been consolidated in the last ten years. With a highly restrictive component, these policies have been based on securitization, displacing the relevance of human security. A critical analysis of the influences of the national security paradigm over the representation of migration as a threat in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is presented. It is concluded that the pandemic allowed to justify the state’s indifference to people in an irregular situation in the country, but also to continue implementing immigration containment measures. |

La movilidad humana en México, y especialmente el tránsito indocumentado de personas de origen centroamericano rumbo a Estados Unidos, se ha vuelto un fenómeno complejo, por los cambios en los patrones, las dinámicas de los flujos y la respuesta del Estado. El objetivo de este artículo es describir las principales políticas estatales de control fronterizo y migratorio que se han consolidado en México en los últimos diez años. Con un componente muy restrictivo, estas tienen como fundamento a la securitización, que desplaza a la seguridad humana. Se presenta un análisis crítico de la influencia del paradigma de seguridad nacional sobre la representación de la migración como amenaza en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19. Se concluye que la pandemia permitió justificar la indiferencia estatal frente a las personas en situación irregular en el país, y continuar implementando medidas de contención migratoria. Abstract Human mobility has become an extremely complex phenomenon in Mexico, especially the undocumented transit of people from Central American countries to the United States, due to changes in patterns, dynamics of flows and the response of the State. The objective of this article is to describe the main state policies of border and migration control in Mexico that have been consolidated in the last ten years. With a highly restrictive component, these policies have been based on securitization, displacing the relevance of human security. A critical analysis of the influences of the national security paradigm over the representation of migration as a threat in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic is presented.

O fenômeno da mobilidade humana no México, especialmente o trânsito rumo aos Estados Unidos de forma irregular, tornou-se extremamente complexo por mudanças nos padrões, dinâmicas e problemáticas diversas. Neste artigo descrevemos de forma geral as principais políticas estatais de controlo fronteiriço e migratório no México que se consolidaram nos últimos dez anos como postas em marcha de políticas migratórias altamente restritivas, As quais tiveram como fundamento a securitização, deslocando a relevância da segurança humana. Mais do que um estudo conceitual ou teórico sobre migração, este texto pretende ser uma análise contextual e crítica de como o paradigma de segurança nacional influencia de maneira sobre a representação da migração como forma de ameaça no contexto de uma pandemia de COVID-19. Por último, concluímos que a pandemia se traduziu no pretexto perfeito para justificar a indiferença estatal face às pessoas em situação irregular no país, mas também para continuar a implementar medidas de contenção migratória.
