This master thesis is the final assignment that needed to be completed in order finish this study, and therefore to receive my degree as a Master of Science. As can be seen in the methodology chapter and the conclusion, as well as annex 4, there were some small problems while doing this research, mostly due to the bi-national nature of this research. However, everything turned out alright in the end as I gathered plenty of information in order to make valid and informed statements regarding the issues at play in this thesis. A major thank you therefore goes out to my informants and expert interviewees for sacrificing their valuable time, their expertise and their willingness to participate. Without them and the useful information they provided me, I would not have gotten what I wanted out of this research.

  • La Gran Marcha: Anti-Racism and Immigrants Rights in Southern California
    La Gran Marcha: Anti-Racism and Immigrants Rights in Southern California Jenna M. Loyd1 Department of Geography, Syracuse University 144 Eggers Hall, Syracuse, NY 13244-1020 USA Email: [email protected] Andrew Burridge Department of Geography, University of Southern California, 416 Kaprielian Hall, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0255 USA Email: [email protected] Abstract Millions of people across the United States took to the streets in spring 2006 to protest repressive immigration legislation, demand just immigration reform, and seek justice in daily life. This article has two aims. First, we seek to intervene in the popular immigration debate, which denies racism and claims to be concerned only with law-and-order. Second, we analyze (im)migration politics in relation to national racial formations. That is, racialized immigration policies do not exist apart from a racially stratified citizenry. We rely on the concept of social death to trace state policies of immigration and criminalization as key sites of interracial and transnational struggles against racism and for justice and liberation. Thus, we seek to elucidate possibilities for anti-racist alliances and social change. We conclude with a discussion of the ways in which we see the immigrants rights movement connecting with other struggles for social justice, and the implications that 1 © Jenna M. Loyd and Andrew Burridge, 2007 La Gran Marcha: Anti-Racism and Immigrants Rights in Southern California 2 concepts of national racial formation and social death have for the movement against global apartheid.

  • Border Security: the San Diego Fence
    Order Code RS22026 Updated May 23, 2007 Border Security: The San Diego Fence Blas Nuñez-Neto Analyst in Domestic Security Domestic Social Policy Division Michael John Garcia Legislative Attorney American Law Division Summary This report outlines the issues involved with DHS’s construction of the San Diego border fence and highlights some of the major legislative and administrative developments regarding its completion; it will be updated as warranted.1 Congress first authorized the construction of a 14-mile, triple-layered fence along the U.S.-Mexico border near San Diego in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996. By 2004, only nine miles had been completed, and construction was halted because of environmental concerns. The 109th Congress subsequently passed the REAL ID Act (P.L. 109-13, Div. B), which contained provisions to facilitate the completion of the 14-mile fence. These provisions allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to waive all legal requirements determined necessary to ensure expeditious construction of authorized barriers and roads. In September 2005, the Secretary used this authority to waive a number of mostly environmental and conservation laws. Subsequently, the Secure Fence Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-367) removed the specific IIRIRA provisions authorizing the San Diego fence and added provisions authorizing five stretches of two-layered reinforced fencing along the southwest border. While the specific authorization of the San Diego fence was deleted, the project appears permissible under a separate, more general authorization provision of IIRIRA. In the 110th Congress, S.Amdt. 1150, the Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Reform Act of 2007, which has been proposed in the nature of a substitute to S.

  • Border Enforcement Developments Since 1993 and How to Change CBP
    Border Enforcement Developments Since 1993 and How to Change CBP Daniel E. Martínez The University of Arizona Josiah Heyman The University of Texas at El Paso Jeremy Slack The University of Texas at El Paso August 24, 2020 CMS Essays, https://cmsny.org/publications/border-enforcement-developments-since-1993- and-how-to-change-cbp/ Executive Summary Enforcement along the US-Mexico border has intensified significantly since the early 1990s. Social scientists have documented several consequences of border militarization, including increased border-crosser deaths, the killing of more than 110 people by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents over the past decade, and expanded ethno-racial profiling in southwestern communities by immigration authorities. Less attention has been paid to the pervasive and routine mistreatment migrants experience on a daily basis in CBP custody. This paper traces major developments in border enforcement to three notable initiatives: the “prevention-through-deterrence” strategy, the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Consequence Delivery System, initiated in 2011. Despite the massive buildup in enforcement, CBP has operated with little transparency and accountability to the detriment of migrants. The paper provides an overview of the findings of nongovernmental organizations and social scientists regarding migrant mistreatment while in CBP custody. It then highlights important shifts in migration patterns over the past decade, as well as changes in border enforcement efforts during the Trump administration. It discusses how these transformations affect migrants’ everyday encounters with CBP officials. The paper concludes by providing specific recommendations for improving CBP conduct. Its core theme is the need to emphasize and inculcate lessons of appropriate police behavior, civil rights, and civil liberties in training and recruiting agents and in setting responsibilities of supervisors and administrators.

  • Migraciones Internacionales 22.Indd
    Opinión de los polleros tamaulipecos sobre la política migratoria estadounidense Simón Pedro IZCARA PALACIOS Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas Resumen Desde el comienzo de los años noventa, la política migratoria estadounidense ha centrado la atención en el control de la frontera, mientras las sanciones a los em- pleadores, la vigilancia de los lugares de trabajo y otras formas de control del inte- rior han permanecido desatendidas. Sin embargo, un resguardo más estricto de la frontera ha sido incapaz de contener el flujo de inmigrantes indocumentados. En la medida en que Estados Unidos ha reforzado la vigilancia fronteriza, los inmigrantes se han tornado más dependientes de los contrabandistas de indocumentados. Este artículo analiza qué opinión tienen los polleros tamaulipecos sobre la estrategia es- tadounidense de control de la inmigración centrada en la vigilancia de la frontera y cómo ha afectado esto el contrabando de indocumentados. Palabras clave: 1. guía de migrantes, 2. política migratoria, 3. cruce fronterizo, 4. Tamaulipas, 5. Estados Unidos. Tamaulipas Coyotes’ Views on U.S. Immigration Policy Abstract Since the early 1990s the overwhelming emphasis in U.S. immigration policy has been on border enforcement while employer sanctions, worksite enforcement and other forms of interior control have remained notoriously weak. However, border enforcement proved to be a poor deterrent to the unauthorized fl ow of immi- grants. As the United States has tightened border controls, migrants have become increasingly dependent on people smugglers. Th is article analyzes the views of Tamaulipas’ smugglers on U.S. immigration control which focuses on border sur- veillance, and how it has aff ected illegal immigrant smuggling.

  • Mexico Border
    In Harm’s Way: Family Separation, Immigration Enforcement Programs and Security on the US- Mexico Border Jeremy Slack University of Texas, El Paso Daniel E. Martínez George Washington University Scott Whiteford University of Arizona Emily Peiffer University of Arizona Executive Summary The Consequence Delivery System (CDS) is a suite of border and immigration enforcement programs designed to increase the penalties associated with unauthorized migration in order to convince people not to return (Rosenblum 2013). Despite its inauguration in 2011, many aspects of the CDS are not new. CDS does however, mark a shift from the deterrent strategy that, in the 1990s that relied heavily on the dangers of the natural terrain to dissuade unauthorized border crossers, to one that actively punishes, incarcerates, and criminalizes them. This article presents findings from the Migrant Border Crossing Study, a random sample survey of 1,100 recently deported migrants in six cities in Mexico conducted between 2009 and 2012. It examines the demographics and family ties of deportees, their experiences with immigration enforcement practices and programs under the CDS, and how these programs have reshaped contemporary migration and deportation along the US-Mexico border. The article covers programs such as criminal prosecutions of illegal entries under Operation Streamline, and the Alien Transfer and Exit Program (ATEP) or lateral repatriation program which returns immigrants to different locations from where they illegally entered. In relationship to these programs, it considers issues of due process and treatment of deportees in US custody. It also examines interior enforcement under Secure Communities, which, during the study period, comprised part of the overarching border security plan, and screened virtually everybody arrested in the United States against © 2015 by the Center for Migration Studies of New York.

    United States General Accounting Office Report to the Committee on the GAO Judiciary, U.S. Senate and the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives December 1997 ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION Southwest Border Strategy Results Inconclusive; More Evaluation Needed GAO/GGD-98-21 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 General Government Division B-276689 December 11, 1997 The Honorable Orrin G. Hatch, Chairman The Honorable Patrick J. Leahy Ranking Minority Member Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate The Honorable Henry J. Hyde, Chairman The Honorable John Conyers, Jr. Ranking Minority Member Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives Illegal immigration has been a long-standing problem. The U.S. Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) estimated there were about 5 million illegal aliens residing in the United States in October 1996, and their numbers increased at an average rate of about 275,000 per year between October 1992 and October 1996. Congress and states with large illegal immigrant populations have raised concerns about illegal immigrants’ fiscal impact on government programs, participation in criminal activities, and overall effect on local economies. In February 1994, the Attorney General announced a broad, five-part strategy to strengthen enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws (see app. I). The strategy’s first priority was to deter illegal entry by strengthening border enforcement, particularly along the southwest border of the United States. Since February 1994, the Justice Department and INS—the primary Justice Department agency charged with enforcing the nation’s immigration laws—have issued various documents and produced strategies intended to reinforce and better define the Attorney General’s overall strategy to deter illegal entry.

Beneath the iron sky Mexican children kick their soccer ball across, Run after it, entering the U.S. Gloria Anzaldúa, Borderlands/La Frontera, 1987 The border patrol, she thought, and she tried to remember which side she was on and which side of the wire mesh she was safe in. Helena María Viramontes, Under the Feet of Jesus, 1995 The borderlands have become like the Bermuda Triangle. Sooner or later everyone knows someoneproof who’s dropped outta sight. Ana Castillo, The Guardians, 2007 We tend to think of the border today as “written in stone,” metaphorically if not literally. But in fact that stone has become reified over time in the public mind and in public discourse, from something resembling Gloria Anzaldúa’s representation of flux and permeability to the rigid ideological barrier that it is now. How did we get from there to here—from Anzaldúa’s version of an artificial borderline effortlessly defied to Ana Castillo’s- vi sion of the borderlands as a menacing death zone almost mythological in its proportions? Anzaldúa’s border was simultaneously a dividing line and a crossing point, a line drawn in the sand that her own images of fluid movement back and forth across borders flouted and attempted to erase.1 A Los Angeles Times article in 2004 recalled in a similar vein: “For years, Calexico and Mexicali seemed like one city.
