Plan de mejora para la gestión de migrantes colombianos en el tránsito por México hacia Estados Unidos

Abstract

In recent years, the migration of Colombians to Mexico, primarily with the goal of crossing into the United States, has significantly increased. This migratory phenomenon, involving individuals from various countries, is driven by the perception of Mexico as a strategic point for reaching the "American Dream" due to its proximity and accessible routes. However, many immigrants decide to remain in Mexico seeking refuge, economic opportunities, and a new beginning. This flow presents significant challenges in terms of integration, human rights protection, and the management of available resources. In this context, the Colombian Consulate in Guadalajara aims to implement tools for tracking Colombian citizens who are inadmissible and housed in migrant stations. Additionally, the obstacles they face during their transit and Mexico's immigration policies are examined, as the country must address both its role as a transit and destination point. Bilateral relations between Colombia and Mexico are also affected by this phenomenon, necessitating more effective and humanitarian immigration policies to protect migrants' rights. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of these migratory flows and offers recommendations for improving migrant management and protection in the region.
