| Sumario: | In Mexico, selectivity and security are elements that have characterized immigration regulation. During the 20th century, the restrictive and selective nature characterized the regulation of the immigration process, prioritizing the ideals of a strong and homogeneous nation in terms of national development. Currently, the Migration Law is based, de jure, on respect for the human rights of immigrants; however, it continues to have a restrictive character now based on national security, which in practice violates all kinds of human rights, showing not only its contradictory actions and the importance that the law in the text has for the State and not the process of execution but the relevance of the international context, in particular the migratory policy of the United States. |
