CANAMID Central America-North America Migration Dialogue

“Since the early 20th Century, economic hardship, lack of land, violence, and the impact of natural disasters have influenced the departure of many people from the North Triangle of Central America countries (Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras).”

Policy Brief # 01

Origin

“Until last summer, one of the most accessible ways to travel across the country was by freight train, which left from Arriaga (Chiapas) and other places near Guatemala such as Palenque (Chiapas) and Tenosique (Tabasco). The average journey took 95 days, during which time migrants were exposed to multiple risks and health problems.”

Policy Brief # 05

Transit through Mexico

“Central Americans make up the fastest-growing segment of Latin American migration to the United States in recent years, with 52 percent population growth between 2000 and 2013”

Policy Brief # 03

Destination in the U.S.

“… over the last decade a growing number of NTCA and Mexican nationals has been deported (or, in modern administrative parlance, “removed”) from the U.S. interior, or apprehended at the U.S. or Mexico borders and “removed” or “returned” (a more simple procedure of removal) to their places of origin.
