“Reconstructing New Lives. The Experience in Mexico of Recent Deportees from the United States”
In the seminar presentation I will analyze the reasons for the detention and removal of Mexican male migrants from the United States using survey data and case studies of recent deportees living in Tijuana, Mexico. I will also examine the future plans of fathers of U.S. Citizen and DACA children living in the United States.
