Frontiers in reproductive health·2025

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Migration Studies

Context:

  • Analyzes Mexican public policy documents concerning migration and COVID-19 (March 2020 - February 2022).
  • Examines the discursive representation of migrants within policy frameworks during a global health crisis.

Purpose:

  • To critically assess how migrants are framed in Mexican public policies during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Utilizes the "What is the problem represented?" analytical framework for discourse analysis.

Summary:

  • Migrants are predominantly depicted as transient populations in "caravans," concentrated in shelters and reception stations.
  • Policy discourse emphasizes migrant "vulnerability" while disregarding their capacity for agency.
  • Shelters are positioned as the principal locus for intervention and response.
