NARVAEZ GUTIERREZ, Juan Carlos. Migración irregular extracontinental en México: Apuntes para el diseño de una política y gestión migratoria. Migr. desarro [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.24, pp.117-132. ISSN 1870-7599.

This article intends to answer three central questions: What is extra-continental migration? Who are the migrants that make up this migratory flow? and, What is Mexico doing to address this phenomenon? To that end, we analyze the key extra-continental migratory flows originating in Africa and Asia that are directed toward Mexico; certain socio-demographic characteristics, routes and migratory strategies; as well as some of the challenges that this flow represents to the management of migration. Concluding the article, we present some possible lines of action for the design of migratory policy. These proposals are based on statistical information from administrative registries on migrants maintained by the National Migration Institute (INM) as well as complementary information sources.
