‘Negro' smokes crack with a friend in Nogales, Mexico. Negro was deported from the United States on criminal charges and cannot return to the country because he faces further jail time. Many criminals live on the Southern side of the U.S./Mexico border after being convicted of crimes in the United States...During the past decade, millions of Mexican and Central American migrants have left their homes and families, faced death on the journey to the United States and lived under the specter of criminality once in this country.
