In recent years, the United States has seen a major shift in migrant flows as more families and children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras arrive at the southern border claiming asylum. This shift has overwhelmed the United States' ill-equipped border systems and facilities, and presented challenges to both the Obama and Trump administrations.
BPC's new report, Policy Proposals to Address the Central American Migration Challenge, targets not only near-term challenges of housing and processing the migrants requesting humanitarian protection after arriving in Mexico and the U.S., but also looks at long-term factors that generate emigration from Central America and strengthen the resilience of the U.S. and Mexican asylum and immigration systems for future migration events. |
