Descrição
Resumo:The article presents the first findings from a study aiming to comparatively analyze the forced immobility processes that take place at Tijuana, BajaCalifornia, and Tapachula, Chiapas, in México. The reflections deriving from this first stage, are based on interviews to institutes and organizations that work directly with the migration phenomenon in both cities. We show an overview on permanence and mobility trends on these mentioned destinations, examining causes and implications that prolonged permanence of transit, deported, and displaced population, and asylum seekers, in places that were not their desired destination. Finally, we present the main challenges and problems that organizations encounter, while attending people facing this situation.
