Resumen
Este artículo sostiene que para comprender el impacto del ex presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México, es necesario comparar su agenda presidencial con la de otras administraciones desde la década de 1990 hasta la actualidad. Se examinan las agendas de políticas presidenciales, tal como se reflejan en órdenes ejecutivas, políticas legislativas, iniciativas binacionales, despliegue de la Guardia Nacional y militar, visitas presidenciales, y el uso del púlpito con visitas a la región fronteriza. Estas se comparan con indicadores de operaciones fronterizas, destacando los cruces formales e informales de personas y el movimiento de mercancías. Aunque Donald Trump ha tenido una actitud específicamente negativa y agresiva hacia la frontera, la securitización de la región ha sido parte de las agendas presidenciales desde la década de 1990. Un punto clave es reflexionar y discutir estos resultados para asegurar que la frontera sea habitable, pueda ser administrada y esté preparada para los desafíos del siglo XXI.
