"I Don't Want to Be Here." returning from the U.S. to Mexico and emotional distress: A qualitative study.

The psychosocial impact on people who were deported to Mexico from the United States or were forcibly returned tends to be greater than on those who return voluntarily. This text examines the way the emotional discomfort experienced by a group of Mexicans who were returned in these ways is constructed, through the analysis of anthropological interviews conducted with five women and thirteen men in which the following phases were explored: pre-migration, stay in the United States, return and reinsertion. This discomfort began in the pre-migration stage, during which they experienced various forms of disempowerment caused by the socioeconomic conditions of Mexico that determine the migratory trajectory, including reintegration.
