La protección de los inmigrantes irregulares en los Estados Unidos y la libertad de circulación en una «Unión Americana»
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este artículo es una continuación y ampliación de una propuesta que formulé en 2009, y se plantea si —y cómo— los Estados Unidos pueden apartarse de su actual sistema de regulación de la inmigración punitivo, cuasi-penal y de exigencia dura de su cumplimiento. ¿Es posible para los Estados Unidos y sus vecinos acercarse a un sistema de protección de los refugiados y otros migrantes irregulares del resto de las Américas, modelado sobre el concepto de «libertad de circulación» de la Unión Europea? Si es así, ¿a qué debería parecerse dicho sistema? Permitiendo a todos los ciudadanos de una «Unión Americana» el derecho a viajar, vivir, y trabajar en América del Norte, sin los peligros inherentes al actual sistema de fronteras militarizadas de Estado-nación, ¿se forjarían nuevas y más fuertes alianzas entre los Estados Unidos, Canadá y México? ¿Puede —y debería— dicha «Unión Americana» expandirse más allá de los Estados-nación de América del Norte, para incluir el resto de las Américas, así como los ciudadanos América Central y América del Sur?
