The Cost of Deportations looks at deportation through the lens of one Central American nation that sends migrants north— Guatemala.
About two million Guatemalans live in the US. But, half of those here lack legal status, and tens of thousands of Guatemalans are deported back to their country each year.
Thus, the question arises… are the countries these migrants left prepared for an influx of returnees?
This week, journalist Maria Martin explores that and other questions— including whether some Guatemalans still plan to migrate north, even given the hardening of immigration policy in the US.
