Abstract
This article analyzes implications of the current Central America-Mexico-United States migratory crisis, evident with the so called humanitarian crisis of mexican child migrants detained by the Border Patrol. One of the consequences of this crisis has been the heightened security on Mexico’s northern and southern borders to stop the influx of migrants. The governments of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, working closely with the White House have devised a series of strategies that range from increased surveillance of border crossings, containment and deportation of migrants, to implementing the Alliance for Prosperity in the Northern Triangle of Central America.
