This paper focuses on analyzing the nature of Colombian migration to Mexico in the last 30 years. In presenting figures and statistical evolutions, we intend to carry out a qualitative and argumentative analysis of the migratory situation of Colombians in Mexico. Methodologically, we reviewed lines of statistical progression in absolute numbers of resident population, migratory outflows and other relevant statistical elements to identify migratory trends and explored the migratory history of Mexico to determine the beginning and evolution of Colombian migration in this country. These elements will allow the reader to approach to and reflect on the various dimensions of the phenomenon concerned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this work consists in showing how the economic and institutional framework of the Ecuadorian State has generated guarantees for Colombian migrants to migrate to this country and, moreover, for them to transition away from their status as refugees and towards a socioeconomic adaptation in Ecuador. With the rising importance of the Colombian refugee population in Ecuador during the last decade, developed in parallel with the growth of the regular migrant population, it is very important for this issue to be understood as a crucial element in knowledge of migration flows to Ecuador. Through a comparison between the regular and irregular flows of migration, this work aims to analyze the creation of a national migration policy in Ecuador under a historical and economic framework of this phenomenon.
