CABRERA GARCIA, Ada Celsa; GONZALEZ PEREZ, Brenda  y  PAZ JIMENEZ, José Manuel. The short distance between the northern and southern borders of Mexico as an expression of the global deportation regime. Tla-melaua [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.43, pp.200-220. ISSN 2594-0716.

This article contains a brief account of the legislation and migration control policies implemented by the United States and Mexico since the early years of this century; these policies emphasize the elements that both share to think of them as specific inserts in what De Genova and Peutz consider a deportation regime of global reach. The objective is to look into the forms that this regime embodies in these two frontiers a process of illegalization, criminalization and violence towards undocumented migration. We conclude that, in legal and operational terms, there is a "scarce" distance between these two confines, a long and tortuous journey for those who decide to cross without the corresponding migratory permits.

Palabras llave : Global deportation regime; legislation and migration control policy.
