  • Drowning on Dry Land: Rethinking Mexican Migration Policy from a Human Rights Perspective
    DROWNING ON DRY LAND: RETHINKING MEXICAN MIGRATION POLICY FROM A HUMAN RIGHTS PERSPECTIVE Blaine Finstein TC 660H Plan II Honors Program The University of Texas at Austin May 3, 2019 __________________________________________ Stephanie Leutert, M.A. LBJ School of Public Affairs Supervising Professor __________________________________________ Stephanie Holmsten, Ph.D. International Relations and Global Studies Second Reader ABSTRACT Author: Blaine Finstein Title: Drowning on Dry Land Supervising Professor: Stephanie Leutert, M.A. As structural issues such as organized crime and corruption deepen in Mexico, migrants are caught in the crosshairs, resulting in migratory routes rife with danger and a worsening human rights record. This paper explores how human rights practices for migrants in Mexico can be improved with respect to state policy. I begin by establishing the international and domestic law in place before moving into an assessment of the extent to which rights are guaranteed. I addresses the disconnect between legal instruments and what happens on the ground, analyzing the influence of securitization as well as social and structural factors at play against migrants in policy-making and implementation. Finally, I propose policy solutions in light of protection gaps and constraints, arguing for a non-traditional regularization of migration through Mexico that would free migratory routes from organized crime networks that pose the majority of the risk. In addition, I advocate for: the incorporation of the National Human Rights Commission into the judicial system in order to provide accountability for crimes committed against migrants, superior training of state migration workers and streamlined protocol, along with funding increases for COMAR, Mexico’s refugee agency.

Based on more than two years of fieldwork consisting of participant observation on the streets and neighborhoods these men inhabit, my research follows the daily experience of marginalization of two-dozen immigrants. Working informally on street hiring sites day laborers actively participate in the US economy while they are marginalized through the very nature of the work they undertake and a disjuncture between substantive forms of citizenship and formal recognition of their social status.

  • Undocumented”
    Documenting the “Undocumented” An Ethnography of DACA from Southern Michigan by Julia Hickey Undergraduate Thesis in Anthropology University of Michigan Winter 2014 Faculty Advisor: Jason De León © 2014 Julia Hickey To Rosa and Isabel, for welcoming me into their America. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I never would have set out to write this thesis if not for the inspiration and support of my advisor, Jason De León. It was in his classes that I first started to think critically about what it means to live “undocumented” in this country. I am grateful to Jason for teaching me how to engage in anthropology that explores people’s lived experiences of the intricacies and ironies of United States immigration law and policy. I am equally indebted to Cyrus O’Brien for his kind encouragement and patient dedication to helping me write the best thesis possible. His thoughtful comments and insightful questions have enriched this thesis beyond measure. I am thankful for the guidance of Erik Mueggler and for the suggestions and moral support of the SocioCult. The challenges of thesis writing always seemed a little less daunting from our shared seats in windowless sauna. This thesis received generous support from both the Honors Program and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. The Honors Summer Fellows Program allowed me the opportunity to define and refine my thesis project in the company of incredible Honors students from a wide range of disciplines across the University. The Honors Program additionally financed some of the many miles I logged driving across the state to conduct interviews for my thesis.
