Since 2006, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on
the drug cartels, there has been a rise in the number of Mexican
nationals seeking political asylum in the United States to escape
the ongoing drug cartel violence in their home country. Political
asylum cases in general are claimed by those who are targeted for
their political beliefs or ethnicity in countries that are
repressive or are failing. Mexico is neither. Nonetheless, if the
health of the Mexican state declines because criminal violence
continues, increases, or spreads, U.S. communities will feel an
even greater burden on their systems of public safety and public
health from "narco-refugees." Given the ever increasing cruelty of
the cartels, the question is whether and how the U.S. Government
should begin to prepare for what could be a new wave of migrants
coming from Mexico. Allowing Mexicans to claim asylum could
potentially open a flood gate of migrants to the United States
during a time when there is a very contentious national debate over
U.S. immigration laws pertaining to illegal immigrants. On the
other hand, to deny the claims of asylum seekers and return them to
Mexico where they might very well be killed, strikes at the heart
of American values of justice and humanitarianism. This monograph
focuses on the asylum claims of Mexicans who unwillingly leave
Mexico rather than those who willingly enter the United States
legally or illegally. To successfully navigate through this complex
issue will require a greater level of understanding and vigilance
at all levels of the U.S. Government.
