Programa Frontera Sur

Programa Frontera Sur (English: Southern Border Program) is what the Mexican government is doing to stop illegal immigration at the southern border of Mexico.[1] Programa Frontera Sur is done by the federal police. Programa Frontera Sur stops illegal immigrants from coming into the country there. Programa Frontera Sur was made due to the US government asking the Mexican government many times.[2] The US government also helps to pay for Programa Frontera Sur.[3]:16 In 2024, Programa Frontera Sur is very successful.[4][5] It is stopping three times as many immigrants as it was in 2023.[5][6] In 2024, the President of Mexico and the President of Guatemala told the world that they are still worried about illegal immigration at this border.[7] Programa Frontera Sur includes the Chiapas-Guatemala border.[8] Programa Frontera Sur includes making people leave the country against their will.[8][9] Military units are part of Programa Frontera Sur.[3] Programa Frontera Sur makes unaccompanied minors leave the country against their will. That means Programa Frontera Sur makes children who are traveling without parents or any other adult leave the country against their will.[10]:52 The Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Migración (National Migration Institute) makes sure that Programa Frontera Sur respects the human rights of the migrants.[11]

Grupo de Alto Nivel de Seguridad México-Guatemala is Mexico-Guatemala High-Level Security Group in English. Grupo de Alto Nivel de Seguridad México-Guatemala is made up of people from two governments: the government of Mexico; and the government of Guatemala. Grupo de Alto Nivel de Seguridad México-Guatemala works to make Programa Frontera Sur work.[12]

The Mexican government wants Programa Frontera Sur to make the border secure, inclusive and competitive.[13]

Centro de Atención Integral al Tránsito Fronterizo is a place. CAITF is also called La Trinitaria. CAITF is in Chiapas. CAITF helps to make Programa Frontera Sur work.[14]

Away from the border

Programa Frontera Sur also happens in other parts of Mexico. That is because the Mexican government works to remove migrants who they did not catch at the border.[15]

Other things that are like this

The Mexican government is also working with others: the government of El Salvador; and the governmet of Honduras. They are working together to stop people coming across the Mexico–Guatemala border against the law.[16]
