Description
Summary:How does the U.S.-Mexico border build-up of the mid-2000s change clandestine crossing experiences? Semi-structured interviews with return migrants in Puebla, Mexico in 2003-04 and 2011 revealed how increased enforcement entailed greater risks of arrest and potentiated violence migrants experienced at the hands of smugglers and criminals, reducing circular migration. Dispossessed of physical security and psychological well-being, “illegal” mobile bodies create value for multiple accumulation processes: at the point of production as vulnerable workers, as well as commodities for trafficking organizations and private detention centers. The violence disciplines migrants for the exploitative labor relations of temporary worker programs.
