A growing number of minors have become part of the return migratory flow from the United States to Mexico. Based on a longitudinal study started in 2012, this article uses life-history narratives to analyze the return experiences of three children who arrived in the state of Morelos, Mexico, between 2010 and 2012. The findings presented here focus on a specific segment of the children’s migratory journey: leaving the United States, crossing the border and arriving in Morelos. The article contributes to the scholarship on children’s narratives of migration, which has been under-emphasized in traditional studies of United States-Mexico migration. Un número creciente de menores de edad forma parte del flujo migratorio de retorno de Estados Unidos a México. Con base en un estudio longitudinal iniciado en el 2012, este artículo hace uso de las historias de vida para analizar las experiencias de retorno de tres niños que llegaron al estado de Morelos, México, entre el 2010 y el 2012. Los resultados que se presentan están centrados en un segmento específico del recorrido migratorio de estos niños: partir de los Estados Unidos, cruzar la frontera y llegar a Morelos. Este artículo contribuye a los estudios migratorios centrados en la narrativa de los niños, la cual ha sido poco valorada en los estudios de migración entre Estados Unidos y México.

Of the United States 50 states, Arizona is the sixth largest in size. It is about the same size as Italy. After three months of Arizona Reopening Phase 2, the COVID-19 cases had surged. In early January 2021, ABC and NBC News reported that Arizona has the highest new cases per capital in the world. This longitudinal study examined the Arizona’s Reopening Phase 2 surge in cases. The study examined the changes in the numbers of testing given, new COVID-19 cases, cases that required hospitalizations, deaths, and vaccines given. The data source used was from the Arizona Department of Health Services COVID-19 dashboard database. During the last third of seven-month study period, Arizona’s case numbers declined as the number of those infected recovered and acquired immunity and the state residents became fully vaccinated increased.

American Women

The United States deported 24,870 women in 2013, mostly to Latin America. We examine life history interviews with Mexican and Central American women who were apprehended, detained, and experienced different outcomes. We find that norms of the “crimmigration era” override humanitarian concerns, such that the state treats migrants as criminals first and as persons with claims for relief second. Removal and relief decisions appear less dependent on eligibility than geography, access to legal aid, and public support. Women’s experiences parallel men’s but are often worsened by their gendered statuses. Far from passively accepting the violence of crimmigration, women resist through discourse and activism.

Of the United States 50 states, Arizona is the sixth largest in size. It is about the same size as Italy. After six weeks of reopening the state, the COVID-19 cases had spiked. Arizona’s state COVID-19 ranking had rose from one of the states with the lowest number of reported cases to the top 7th in the total reported cases. The state took aggressive actions to address the rising cases. This longitudinal study examined the impacts of the actions taken. The study examined the changes in the numbers of new reported COVID-19 cases, the number of cases that required hospitalization, and the number of deaths. The data source used was from the Arizona Department of Health Services COVID-19 dashboard database. During the two-month study period, Arizona aggressive actions had slowed down the overall state rates of new COVID-19 cases and number of deaths.

In the two preceding papers of this series 36 species and 3 varieties of Acridiæ have been recorded as occurring in Indiana. Since the last paper, published in the Entomologist for February, 1892, appeared, five additional species have been taken within the State, and many lacts have been gathered concerning the life history, habits and range of the species previously recorded. Moreover, my private collection has been largely increased by exchange for specimens from other parts of the United States, and I have possessed myself of almost all the literature extant upon the group, so that I am enabled to clear up a few mistakes in synonymy rvhich crept into my first papers.

Recently, the state of the United States-Mexico border has assumed primary importance in American domestic politics. And with that, the border has been conflated with notions of security. This paper will investigate the root causes of the border’s securitization by grounding the case study of the Camarena Affair within The Copenhagen School’s burgeoning constructivist literature on securitization. The paper will conclude by discussing the legislative fallout from the Camarena Affair’s legacy, and arguing that the successful linkage between border and security occurred long before the events of September 11th, 2001.
