The aim of this article is to analyse the issue of international migration in three American countries, Brazil, Colombia and the United States of America, based on two dimensional questions: 1) What is the autonomy of the States in relation to the level of border control and national identity? 2) How is the border control of each country necessary to maintain internal security on economic and social ways? In that sense, a specific immigration flow was dedicated to each of the three studied countries: Haitians in Brazil, Venezuelans in Colombia and Mexicans in the United States of America. The issues of border control and national identity were also raised to understand the repercussions of these migratory phenomena in the hosting countries.
