TORRE CANTALAPIEDRA, Eduardo  and  CALVA SANCHEZ, Luis Enrique. Criminalization, family separation and re-migration to the United States of deported Mexican men. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2021, vol.36, n.2, pp.637-672.  Epub July 30, 2021. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v36i2.1971.

By using data from the Survey on Migration in the Northern Border of Mexico, we analyze how the intentions to return to the Uni­ ted States of the men deported by the immigration authorities of that country vary, according to how they are affected by the deportation system, that criminalizes the undocumented migrants and their re­entry into the US territory and according to the members of their families who remain in that country after deportation. Additionally, we examine the figures of deportations, family separations, prohibitions of re­entry and intentions of re­entry.

Keywords : international migration; immigration policy; migratory patterns; familiar separation; deportation; criminalization; re-entry in the United States.
