This article aims to analyze the extent to which the right to education of immigrant and returned children from the United States to Oaxaca, Mexico, is guaranteed after the Trump administration increased containment of immigration policies with significant repercussions for adult Mexicans and their offspring. A qualitative methodology integrated by ethnographic observation techniques with and without participation, interviews, discussion groups, and documentary analysis has been used. The main findings show that the infringement of the children’s right to education increases their vulnerability with a decisive impact on their educational, social, and labor present and future. The originality of the study lies in the approach to the consequences of return on childhood and their right to education in the state of Oaxaca, not attended enough by migratory studies, which is also a contribution.

Keywords : 1. migration; 2. childhood; 3. education; 4. United States; 5. Mexico.
