By analyzing the recent shift in the security paradigm, this study brings to light how securitization procedures affect irregular migration flows in the US-Mexico border and enhance gender inequalities. The former borders that once separated external and internal security issues have now blurred in and international security policies have direct effect on society, to the level of the individual. The execution of border-making strategies have relocated to the human body itself, creating mobile and embodied “frontiers” easy to locate and eliminate. %T US migration securitization on Latin American irregular women migrants in the US-Mexico border %K Securitization %K Migration borders %K Mexico %K USA %~ END
