Moving Beyond Externalization: U.S. and Mexican Scholars Offer Roadmap for U.S.-Mexico Migration Policy with Release of Binational Report
Today, UCLA’s Center for Immigration Law and Policy (CILP) and the Seminar Migration, Inequality and Public Policies (MIGDEP) of El Colegio de México (COLMEX) jointly released “Moving Beyond Externalization in the U.S.-Mexico Relationship” a paper that proposes ways to reimagine the U.S.-Mexico relationship with respect to migration.
The proposals in the paper invite policymakers, scholars, and advocates in both countries to collaborate on imagining and establishing new, viable migration pathways that safeguard the safety of asylum seekers and address pressure at the physical border. The paper highlights the urgent need to work together across borders amid the global rise of authoritarianism and anti-immigrant sentiment.
CILP and MIGDEP hosted a webinar February 26 to discuss the policy paper.
“Moving Beyond Externalization in the U.S.-Mexico Relationship,” is the first in a series that aims to propose ways to reimagine the U.S.-Mexico relationship with respect to migration.
