“…Discursively, the administrations of Enrique Peña Nieto (2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018) and Andrés Manuel López Obrador 7 (2018-present) consider the protection of human rights a priority, yet violence remains a defining element in this border region. Criminal groups in combination with Mexican authorities keep profiting from the commodification of migrant bodies (Vogt 2013), applying a set of violent practices or 'necro-practices' (Mbembe 2011;Estévez 2013;Castro Neira 2014) legitimised by the criminalisation of irregular migration.…”

This paper discusses shelters in relation to the migration industry that shapes irregular migration from Central America to Mexico. Whereas the migration industry literature often separates migration facilitation from migration control, we instead position shelters at the intersection of the two domains. We use an assemblage approach to better understand how different institutions, policies, responsibilities, actors and discourses meet, clash and intertwine at shelters. Based on our ethnographic material, we distinguish three significant processes that characterise sheltering practices (attraction, multiple performativities, (dis) location) and analyse how these processes display different, sometimes contradictory, discourses and power relations. With these insights, we conclude that sheltering practices reinforce as well as destabilise migration management architecture in Mexico. They undermine the presupposed 'rigidity' of migration management, but they simultaneously attract violence and control, and incorporate state-like practices of administration and discipline. In particular, the notions of 'humanitarian aid' and 'mobility control' are floating signifiers in these practices in the sense that they are constantly open to different ascriptions of meaning. Following this observation, we consider the migration management architecture as a form of plasticity. Its shape and function might appear to be rigid, but it is able to bend, bow and change in forms rather easily.

En este artículo revisamos diversos aspectos que caracterizan a las migraciones y los desplazamientos humanos en la actualidad. Vemos cómo en diversas latitudes se repiten escenarios de violencias múltiples y complejas, que afectan a las personas y a los países. Con base en el trabajo de campo desarrollado en Tijuana, en la frontera de México con Estados Unidos, reflexionamos sobre el papel de la ley y la seguridad en la conformación de esos escenarios violentos. Así, nos proponemos cuestionar la ambigüedad de la ley y de los discursos de seguridad, intentando aportar a una visión en la que el derecho pueda coexistir con una cultura de sentimientos favorables a la convivencia humana y social diversa. Abstract In this paper, we review various aspects that characterize migrations and human displacement today. We see how, in different latitudes, scenarios of multiple and complex violence are repeated. Based on fieldwork developed in Tijuana, on the border of Mexico with the United States, we reflect on the role of law and security in shaping those violent scenarios. In this way, we propose to question the ambiguity of the law and security discourses, trying to contribute to a vision in which the law is in conformity with a culture of feelings favorable to the human and social diverse coexistence.
