“…In addition to the above, when the subjects were in “forced immobility” or entrapment [ 17 ], some associated this period with feelings of helplessness and episodes of despair that we interpret in keeping the ideas of Requena et al [ 21 ] as an expression of a reduced ability to cope with adversities. We think that for some subjects who experienced the most vulnerabilities, being in a waiting period could increase the risk of presenting with mental disorders or of developing negative coping responses such as the abuse of alcohol or other substances [ 27 ].…”

“…Another consequence of border outsourcing policies, compounded by the implementation of Title 42 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, is that migrants’ stay in Mexico is longer than they had anticipated. This permanence has been called “forced immobility” or entrapment [ 17 , 18 ]. During this stage, people find it necessary to look for work, but their lack of documentation means that they are usually unable to secure employment or end up engaging in activities that involve labor exploitation [ 8 , 10 ].…”

“…During the time migrants are forced to remain in a town or city, they seek accommodation in shelters or temporary settlements and rely on food either from these shelters or charities [ 17 , 18 ]. These situations can create the sensation of having lost control over their lives and weakens their self-esteem [ 22 ].…”

Migration exposes Central American migrants, particularly those who migrate without documents, to a range of incidents, dangers, and risks that increase their vulnerability to anxiety symptoms. In most cases, the poverty, conflict, and violence they experience in their countries of origin are compounded by the unpredictable conditions of their journey through Mexico. The objective of this study was to explore the association between the presence of emotional discomfort and the experience of various vulnerabilities from the perspective of a group of Central American migrants in transit through Mexico. This is a descriptive, mixed-methods study (QUALI-QUAN). During the qualitative phase, thirty-five migrants were interviewed (twenty in Mexico City and six in Tijuana). During the quantitative phase, a questionnaire was administered to 217 migrants in shelters in Tijuana. An analysis of the subjects’ accounts yielded various factors associated with stress and anxiety, which were divided into five main groups: (1) precarious conditions during the journey through Mexico, (2) rejection and abuse due to their identity, (3) abuse by Mexican authorities, (4) violence by criminal organizations, and (5) waiting time before being able to continue their journey. The interaction of various vulnerabilities predisposes individuals to present emotional discomfort, such as anxiety. Migrants who reported experiencing three or more vulnerabilities presented the highest percentages of anxiety symptoms.

“…También han sido problematizadas en distintos contextos nacionales las situaciones de cuarentenas obligatorias, de migrantes varados y de expulsiones o "deportaciones acordadas" fundamentadas en razones de salud pública ((In)movilidad en las Américas, 2020a; Prunier & Salazar, 2021) y las experiencias de atrapamiento y espera en diferentes espacios fronterizos a partir de las transformaciones que sufrieron las políticas de asilo y refugio (Candiz & Basok, 2021;Iturralde & Piñeiro, 2021;Miranda & Silva Hernández, 2022;Pérez Martínez, 2021;Silva & Burgess, 2021). Al mismo tiempo, fueron analizadas diversas formas de contestación a los controles migratorios y fronterizos de migrantes y solicitantes de asilo, en el marco de la reflexión sobre las luchas migrantes (Alvites Baiadera et al, 2021;París-Pombo & Varela-Huerta, 2021), las prácticas de cuidado y autocuidado generadas por mujeres migrantes en tránsito (Álvarez Velasco & Varela-Huerta, 2022) y ciertos usos políticos de la figura de la "madre migrante" en las luchas fronterizas para negociar los cruces durante los cierres de frontera (Biondini, 2022).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar ciertos cambios experimentados en las políticas de control del movimiento en el espacio sudamericano en tiempos de cierres de fronteras producidos con la llegada del COVID-19. Específicamente indaga el surgimiento y la producción política del “corredor sanitario” aéreo. Sostiene que las principales transformaciones se asocian al despliegue de diversidad de prácticas de inmunización de la movilidad orientadas a clasificar, filtrar y canalizar las movilidades inmunizadas y las movilidades infecciosas en un escenario de cierres de frontera. Mediante una metodología cualitativa que articula análisis documental y una entrevista con una funcionaria de la Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil (Argentina), muestra que la legitimación del “corredor sanitario” se asocia a su producción como respuesta a las “crisis” del COVID-19 y su capacidad de atender al mandato de la “seguridad sanitaria mundial”, las narrativas económicas a favor de la reactivación de la movilidad, y las lógicas nacionalistas que consideran al virus como una amenaza para la seguridad y la salud pública.

Objective: to understand the possibilities and barriers in the everyday lives of primary care professionals for health promotion of Haitian immigrant families. Methods: qualitative interpretative research, based on the theoretical foundations of Comprehensive Sociology and Everyday life Sociology. Twenty-seven Primary Health Care professionals who assist Haitian immigrant families participated. Data were collected using an electronic form in Google Forms and submitted to Thematic Analysis. Results: three categories emerged: Public policies and specific actions; Potentialities in health promotion to Haitian families; and Professional everyday life and limitations to health promotion. Conclusion: professionals perceive that their professional everyday lives have the potential to promote the health of Haitian immigrant families. However, they recognize the limits related to language barriers, political conception, and social organization. To overcome these limits, it is believed necessary to strengthen existing policies and promote changes in the organization of services. Contributions to practice: the understanding of the potentials and limits will enable managers and professionals to reflect not only on changes in the work process, but also on changes in the everyday work, implementing effective strategies for Health Promotion.
