Immigration, Human Rights, and Globalization: Reflections from the Southern Borders of the United States and Mexico

Summary/Abstract: Over the course of the 21st century, immigration in the United States has been the subject of a political and legal exercise that not only violates the foundations of international human rights law, but also one of the assumptions of globalization: the devaluation of spatiality, particularly border spaces. This article attempts to explain these tensions in the flow of immigration from the borders of the southern United States and southern Mexico. For this purpose, different levels of approach were established: globalization and the destructuring of the democratic constitutional rule of law and of international human rights law; the destructuring-reconstruction of borders; as well as the practices and strategies of migrants in a context of uncertainty and vulnerability.
