The past decade has seen unprecedented growth in human movement in Latin America and the Caribbean, which has experienced a greater proportional increase in international migration than any other region in the world. According to data from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), in 2010, there were around 8.3 million migrants in Latin America and the Caribbean. This figure was set to double by 2022, reaching 16.3 million, most of whom are intraregional migrants people who move between countries in the region (Seele et al., 2023). This surge in migration has forced Latin American countries to develop legal and institutional responses in record time. Countries that did not initially seek to welcome migrants have found it necessary to implement reception, control, assistance, and regularization strategies to integrate the migrant population into their societies and economies.
