Undocumented international migration in Mexico is facing a serious human rights crisis. Each year, hundreds of thousands of migrants, above all from Central America, cross Mexico to reach the United States. Their journey risks extortion, kidnap, torture, disappearance, and death. For activists and civil society organizations, this crisis is explained by what they call the securitization of Mexico's migration policy. By “securitization,” they mean a policy imposed on Mexico by the United States that treats migrants as a security threat. This article challenges this interpretation, arguing that the theory of securitization is insufficient to understand the many factors that make possible the systematic violence of the human rights of migrants in transit in Mexico.

当我们谈论墨西哥国际移民的“证券化”时，我们指的是什么？批评

墨西哥的无证国际移民正面临严重的人权危机。每年，成千上万的移民，尤其是来自中美洲的移民，穿越墨西哥到达美国。他们的旅程冒着勒索、绑架、酷刑、失踪和死亡的风险。对于活动家和民间社会组织来说，这场危机的原因是他们所谓的墨西哥移民政策的证券化。“证券化”是指美国强加给墨西哥的一项政策，将移民视为安全威胁。本文挑战这种解释，认为证券化理论不足以理解使在墨西哥过境的移民的人权系统性暴力成为可能的许多因素。
