When Gina was deported to Tijuana, Mexico, in 2011, she left behind her parents, siblings, and children, all of whom are U.S. citizens. Despite having once had a green card, Gina was removed from the only country she had ever known. In Deported Americans legal scholar and former public defender Beth C. Caldwell tells Gina's story alongside those of dozens of other Dreamers, who are among the hundreds of thousands who have been deported to Mexico in recent years. Many of them had lawful status, held green cards, or served in the U.S. military. Now, they have been banished, many with no hope of lawfully returning. Having interviewed over one hundred deportees and their families, Caldwell traces deportation's long-term consequences-such as depression, drug use, and homelessness-on both sides of the border. Showing how U.S. deportation law systematically fails to protect the rights of immigrants and their families, Caldwell challenges traditional notions of what it means to be an American and recommends legislative and judicial reforms to mitigate the injustices suffered by the millions of U.S. citizens affected by deportation.

When Gîna was deported to Tîjuana, Mexîco, în , she was scared. A-though she was born în Mexîco, her ony memory o beîng there was a uzzy, dreamîke recoectîon o aîng of a burro—a donkey—when she was three or our years od. Her parents brought her to the Unîted States when she was young; she’s not sure how od she was. She knows she was born în Guerrero, one o Mexîco’s poorest states. Ater expaînîng thîs, she quîcky says, “Don’t ask me more because I don’t know.” Her chîdhood memorîes revove around her îe în the U.S.—goîng to schoo, attendîng bîrthday partîes at Chuck E. Cheese, and dancîng at her hîgh schoo prom. As an adut, she gave bîrth to three chîdren în the U.S. and ceebrated countess hoîdays wîth her parents and sîbîngs, a now U.S. cîtîzens. . . . Foowîng her deportatîon, she was aone în Tîjuana—separated rom her chîdren and a o her earthy possessîons. Everythîng et oreîgn and întîmîdatîng. She expaîns, “I got scared when I first got în to TJ [Tîjuana]. I was în shock.” . . . Sîx years ater her deportatîon to Mexîco, Gîna stî mîsses home. “I mîss everythîng about ît,” she expaîns, “my kîds, my amîy, the ood, the paces, the cothes, the jobs. Everythîng. Thîs îs not what I’m used to.”
