Migration anywhere in the world generates a risk for national security and defense. This situation should not be confused with xenophobic and malicious discourse; rather, it should be seen as an opportunity to identify problem areas that need to be addressed. The aim of this article is to argue why risk factors brought by immigration should be considered in the national agenda, with the intention of allowing a transformation towards safe mechanisms for the neutralization of such risks. For this purpose, a qualitative analysis of documentary sources is carried out. It is concluded that migrations should be addressed from a differential perspective of inclusion as an impulse for development, as a contributor to economic growth and as a leverage mechanism for the receiving country, contributing to both immigrants and hosts.

Keywords : migration; national defense; security; universal citizenship.
