Adriana Figueroa and Maggie Loredo’s stories illuminate the compelling historical, ethical, and political challenges unfolding today on the U.S. Mexican border.<\/p>\n
Both women were born in Mexico and came to the U.S. as children with their families. Because their families were undocumented, both had no other choice but to return to Mexico in order to continue their education.<\/p>\n
They are part of a growing number of young people who have had to make the same decision. Maggie says her friend calls such young people “little Frankensteins.”<\/p>\n
Both women are part of a group that is helping other young returnees find their footing in Mexico. They have also had an impact on policies affecting young people there.<\/p>\n
