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.
