espanolDurante 2005, adquirieron visibilidad varios grupos norteamericanos que se propusieron impedir el ingreso de migrantes hacia Estados Unidos. Mi tesis central es que la presencia mediatica y el exito politico conseguidos por esos grupos (en particular Minuteman Project) se debe a la confluencia de tres factores principales en la frontera norte de Mexico: a) una nueva doctrina de ?seguridad nacional? norteamericana; b) el relanzamiento de un discurso ?patriota? centrado en la defensa de las fronteras; c) la conjugacion de estos dos elementos en el registro de un anejo tema fronterizo, que es la segregacion de tinte antimexicana. EnglishIn 2005, some American groups such as Minuteman Project became famous for carrying out actions to halt illegal immigration from the southern border. Our central idea is that their political and media success have three major causes: 1) a new doctrine about U.S. National Security; 2) the re-emergence of an American ?patriot? ideology whose central point is border defense, and 3) the combination of these two elements with a secular issue on the U.S.-Mexican border: anti-Mexican discrimination.
