The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Dear John,

Two families' stories-a separation at the border and an assault in a
migrant shelter-illustrate the "horrific dimensions" of US
migration policy.

'Remain In Mexico'

In 2019 the Trump administration instituted the Migrant Protection
Protocols-often referred to as the "Remain in Mexico"
program-requiring certain individuals seeking asylum in the US to wait
in Mexico until the time of their immigration court proceedings. The
Biden administration has since reversed the policy and has pledged to
reduce family separation at the border and reunify families.

In July's Narrative Matters essay, Alfonso Mercado and coauthors
describe harrowing stories of trauma

from migrants forced to wait on the Mexico side of the southern border
because of the Migrant Protection Protocols. They also discuss advocacy,
policy, and clinical implications of the trauma many migrants face at
the US-Mexico border.

"Trauma-informed care systems should be embedded across institutions
and organizations that come into contact with this immigrant population,
including law and immigration personnel," the authors advocate.

Listen to Mercado read this essay on the Narrative Matters podcast
.

Today on Health Affairs Blog, Marissa Coloske writes that, although US
veterans experience higher rates of infertility than the general public,
access to infertility care

from the Department of Veterans Affairs is limited by narrow eligibility
requirements.
