Abstract

There has been a significant trend among families from Mexico and Central America to immigrate to the United States due to difficult living conditions, financial hardship, and the lack of opportunity. This article addresses the role of serial migration, where one family member immigrates first and then brings the rest of the family at a later time, and the legal challenge of qualifying for extreme and unusual psychological hardship to avoid deportation. Two case studies will be discussed to illustrate serial migration, mental health issues, and the legality of potential deportation.
