Abstract:
The US-Mexico border stands as a critical nexus of transnational challenges, where security concerns intertwine with migratory flows, presenting complex policy dilemmas. This study delves into the necessity of transborder security cooperation for efficient migrant control at the US-Mexico border. Amidst heightened border securitization efforts, traditional approaches have often failed to address the multifaceted nature of migration dynamics. It critiques unilateral enforcement strategies, advocating for a comprehensive framework integrating security measures with humanitarian considerations. This proposed multidimensional approach emphasizes bilateral collaboration, intelligence-sharing, joint law enforcement, and the implementation of human rights-based policies. Moreover, it underscores the role of technology and innovation in border management, with responsible deployment crucial to preventing potential abuses. Through the lens of the Migrant Control Framework, documentary method and content analysis, historical trends, policy responses, and contemporary challenges are examined. By transcending traditional security paradigms, embracing inclusivity, and prioritizing collaboration, policymakers can effectively address security concerns while upholding humanitarian values and respecting migrants' rights.
Keywords: Trans-border Security Cooperation, Transnational Crime, US-Mexico Borders, Migrant Control, Border Security Policies, and Cross-Border Movement.
