Advocacy for Mexico
What’s Happening?
Mexico is a sending, transit, and destination country for displaced people from throughout Latin America. While Mexico’s asylum-related laws are quite generous, asylum seekers still face a broad range of challenges accessing safety and integration in Mexico. The United States also exerts a great deal of influence on Mexican migration policy which has negatively impacted many in need of protection.
What Must Be Done?
Refugees International is urging the government of Mexico to continue to invest in and improve upon its protection system, and asks the United States to support Mexico in this endeavor.
