Protection of migrant children in Mexico: a fallacy / La protección de los niños migrantes en México: una falacia

Abstract

In this article the protection of migrant children is discussed in Mexico when it comes to children belonging to other citizenship and culture, in spite of the apparently protective legislation in some of these cases, since the country needs a system protection to this type of immigration status that has effective mechanisms to address the underlying problem and respond effectively to the humanitarian crisis that children from other countries live.
