Resumen

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha destacado la necesidad de la integración socioeconómica de los migrantes, independientemente de su condición migratoria. En América del Sur, más de cinco millones de ciudadanos venezolanos se han visto obligados a migrar por la región en los últimos cinco años. Junto con otros migrantes y refugiados intra-regionales, muchos se encuentran en condiciones legales y socioeconómicas precarias, ya que el aumento de números ha provocado reacciones xenófobas en algunos de los principales países receptores, incluidos Chile y Perú. En este artículo, exploramos hasta qué punto la crisis de COVID-19 ha ofrecido a los interesados la oportunidad de reformular políticamente la migración y facilitar la integración de los inmigrantes o, por el contrario, ha impulsado aún más los sentimientos xenófobos y la exclusión socioeconómica y legal de los inmigrantes.
