La Temporalidad, una Comparación Entre los Estatutos Temporales de Protección para los Migrantes en Colombia y Estados Unidos

Abstract

The migratory phenomenon has led different countries to formulate policies to face this migratory crisis. Within the academic literature, the comparison between the Temporary Protection Statute for Venezuelan Migrants of Colombia and the Temporary Protection Statute of the United States has not been sufficiently developed, therefore, this research addresses these statutes focusing on the differences and similarities that they have at the time of coping with the migratory phenomenon in both countries. Using the technique of documentary analysis of these two statutes to create an analysis matrix that includes 6 categories (background, principles, rights, application, permanence, and registration period). In conclusion, both statutes have different guidelines, but they also coincide in their purpose, which is focused on managing the migratory crisis, safeguarding the rights of migrants, and offering them better opportunities compared to their own country, thus generating new knowledge on migration issues.
