The methodology was: a) application of interviews to six migrants; b) newspaper review on the subject and; c) use of statistical data on foreign migration from the National Institute of Migration (INM). The data suggest that the policy applied to the Haitian people who arrived in Acuña, Coahuila, was to contain, dissuade and expel this migration in which instances of the three levels of government participated: INM and National Guard, state and local police, and that the latter, in practice, have become a kind of immigration police, a function that is the responsibility of the INM. And the voice of the Haitian people did not have an echo, they saw with frustration and fear the containment measures adopted by the US and Mexican authorities. And these contributed to their uncertainty and fear by not having immigration permits to obtain their legal stay in the country, and thus being able to be deported. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las principales medidas adoptadas por las autoridades migratorias o de seguridad mexicanas hacia la migración haitiana en Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, a partir de la exploración de algunas experiencias de las personas haitianas en su contexto migratorio. La metodología fue: a) aplicación de entrevistas a seis personas migrantes; b) revisión hemerográfica sobre el tema y; c) uso de datos estadísticos sobre migración extranjera del Instituto Nacional de Migración (INM). Los datos sugieren que la política aplicada hacia las personas haitianas que llegaron a Acuña, Coahuila, fue la de contener, disuadir y expulsar esa migración en donde participaron instancias de los tres niveles de gobierno: INM y Guardia Nacional, policías estatal y local, y que éstas últimas, en la práctica, se han convertido en una especie de policía migratoria, una función que le compete al INM. Y la voz de las personas haitianas no tuvo eco, éstos vieron con frustración y miedo las medidas de contención adoptadas por las autoridades de EU y de México. Y éstas contribuyeron a su incertidumbre y temor al no contar con los permisos migratorios para obtener su estancia legal en el país, y con ello poder ser deportados.
