“…Another reason for the immigration slowdown concerns stricter border controls due to the fear—generalized by some media and U.S. officials (see Correa‐Cabrera and Rojas‐Arenaza ; McCaffrey and Scales )—that undocumented Mexican migrants have links to drug violence and even with Islamic terrorism. But a careful analysis shows that these associations are wrong.…”

This article analyzes the effects of Mexico's drug war on security, migration, and the economy on the eastern U.S.-Mexico border between the state of Texas and the Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Both sides of the border are analyzed and compared simultaneously. The article shows that the extreme violence that Mexico is suffering has benefited U.S. border towns while having a negative impact on Tamaulipas. The positive effects of Mexico's violent spiral on U.S. border security and the U.S. border economy are evident, notwithstanding American public discourse and the reporting of U.S. media alleging the opposite.

“…Then, the media and US congress play an important role in influencing how the executive branch makes decisions on the enforcement of migration policies (Salehyan and Rosenblum, 2008). Then, the use of quantitative numerical data and analysis, migration statistics and mass media influence the design of US migration policy (Cabrera and Arenaza, 2012).…”

This paper will discuss the United States policy under Donald Trump's administration which places migration as an agenda of securitization by restricting immigrants from entering the United States, especially Muslim immigrants. Trump firmly said to reject the entry of immigrants from six Muslim countries, namely Chad, Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen. Trump also added that the ban on the entry of immigrants was also applied to Venezuelans and North Koreans. The step was taken by Trump with the aim of ensuring the security of the United States from various threats potentially brought by the immigrants. Then, this paper will answer the big questions about how securitization of migration affected the emergence of Islamophobia in the United States. In analyzing these problems, we use the concept of securitization of migration with four operational variables, namely: 1. Framing by speech acts, 2. Politicization of fear, 3. The impacts (positive and negative): Securitization policy and the islamophobia actions. The results of this study indicate that securitization of migration process has an impact on the increasing actions of Islamophobia-based in the United States. Keywords: Securitization of Migration, Travel Ban Policy, Islamophobia, United States

This article uses an interpretive phenomenological approach to examine the deployment (and perception) of fear in the US-Mexico border region. This region is currently perceived by "others" to be under siege by drugtrafficking organizations, terrorists and undocumented immigrants. However, the inhabitants of this region experience a vastly different reality that is far-removed from the rhetoric of fear often used by politicians to identify and define the inhabitants. In many instances, the effects of border violence are exaggerated in ways that benefit political and corporate interests; moreover, this specific tactic operates to squeeze and constrain efforts aimed at civic engagement and public input in policies. We expose perceptions and misperceptions on issues related to fear, and explain the ways in which fear can be expropriated as a social construct that prevents meaningful political dialogue.
