The Strauss Center’s Central America and Mexico Policy Initiative (CAMPI) Director Stephanie Leutert, with Maureen Rendón, a 2022-23 Strauss Brumley Next Generation Fellow, have published a report on migration and migrant smuggling in South Texas. This report focuses on the time period from 2014 to 2022 and attempts to answer two broad questions. The first question is related to clandestine migration dynamics, asking: how do migrants currently transit through South Texas? While the second question is related to the facilitators of this migration, and asks: who are the people charged with migrant smuggling throughout the region? Building on the previous excellent scholarship around this topic, this report roots migrant smuggling in its historical context and then focuses on contemporary clandestine migration and migrant smuggling practices.
