Title: Integration of the migrant population as a challenge for host societies, the case of Mexico

Summary: Integration is a decisive stage of the global migration process that implies a closure of the mobility cycle and poses a settlement process that involves the societies of destination. This process has been addressed mainly in the context of South-North labor migration. However, this issue has become central to South-South migration due to the migration dynamics of the last decade, which is especially notable in the context of international humanitarian migration, visibly in the case of Latin America. Based on this scenario of a new migratory geography in the region accelerated by mass migration from Venezuela and Haiti, this proposal aims to analyze policies and practices related to integrating migrants (often immobilized) in Mexico.
Above all, we are interested in exploring these processes from the different critical moments that have generated the most recent migratory flows in the region. How do transit countries manage forward migration? What are the national and local immigration and integration policy measures in Mexico? What role do economic and civil society actors play in this? How is a public image constructed through the media and various social actors of immigrants? Guided by these and other related questions, this proposal aims to examine the scenario in which the integration of foreigners takes place in two border cities
(Tapachula and Ciudad Juárez) and two metropolitan areas (Mexico City and Monterrey) to detail existing integration policies and practices and to point out the structural barriers faced by people face in (in)mobility once they are established in the country.
