Almost deserted streets, increased racism and the absence of workers are the reflection of Donald Trump's first month as president of the United States for the second time, during which time he has initiated anti-immigrant policies.

The director of Humanities and the Center for Social Excellence at Cetys University, Carlos Antonio González Palacios, pointed out that during this period there is also a debate about the existence of Sanctuary cities like California, where a large number of irregular migrants live.

For his part, the specialist in international migration at El Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El Colef) Hugo Méndez, said that in Mexico, especially in Tijuana, part of the US policy is seen in the deployment of elements of the National Guard along the border to prevent illegal trafficking of migrants and drugs, such as fentanyl.
Likewise, he highlighted that this second Trump term is characterized by criminalizing migrants, associating them with crime, drug traffickers and being parasites of the US budget.
