Continuity Will Be Given to the Humanitarian Mobility Model

The members of the Interministerial Commission for Comprehensive Migration Affairs (Ciaimm) held their first meeting this Friday, led by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Juan Ramón de la Fuente.

The objective is to follow President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s directive to strengthen the Humanitarian Mobility Model, which has yielded positive results.

“The president’s instruction is for us to continue working in a coordinated manner, to review this mobility model to update it, to take advantage of all the experience we have, and, of course, to maintain what has worked. And if any part requires adjustment or adaptation, that’s what the commission is here for.”— Juan Ramón de la Fuente

Among the topics discussed were the modernization of the border to optimally address migration flows and security challenges.

De la Fuente indicated that work will be coordinated with each of the agencies that make up the Ciaimm to offer the best conditions for migration management in the country.

Attendees of the meeting included the Secretary of the Interior, Rosa Icela Rodríguez Velázquez; the Secretary of National Defense, Ricardo Trevilla Trejo; the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar García Harfuch; the Secretary of Welfare, Ariadna Montiel Reyes; the Undersecretary of the Navy, José Barradas Cobos; and the Undersecretary of Employment and Labor Productivity, Quiahuitl Chávez Domínguez.

The pillars of the Mexican Humanitarian Mobility Model are:

1. Regularization and empowerment of Mexican communities abroad.
   
2. Structural causes:A. Mexico’s cooperation on economic and social programs in communities of origin and return migration.B. External political and economic factors that hinder development: sanctions, debt, and reduced access to cooperation.
   
3. Labor mobility pathways.
   
4. Coordinated actions for the humanitarian management of irregular migration flows.
