Increasingly stringent immigration enforcement in the US interior has led to the deportation of large numbers of long-term Mexican immigrants with families in the USA. We analyse the statistical association between the intent to return to the USA and leaving minor children with spouses or other people in the USA among Mexican immigrants deported from the US interior in 2014–2018, and explore if this association varies by sex and year of deportation. We employ the deportees’ section of the Survey on Migration on Mexico's Northern Border. The results indicate that having left children in the USA considerably increases the likelihood of a plan to return to the USA, especially in the short term and when deportees left minor children with a spouse. Remigration plans were higher among women and slightly decreased over time among parents, suggesting a continued failure of policy to account for the family circumstances of immigrants.

墨西哥被驱逐者的家庭分离和重新移民到美国的意图

美国内陆日益严格的移民执法导致大量在美国有家人的长期墨西哥移民被驱逐出境。我们分析了 2014-2018 年被美国内陆驱逐出境的墨西哥移民中，返回美国的意图与将未成年子女留在美国的配偶或其他人之间的统计关联，并探讨该关联是否因性别和驱逐年份而异. 我们聘请了墨西哥北部边境移民调查中的被驱逐者部分。结果表明，将孩子留在美国会大大增加计划返回美国的可能性，尤其是在短期内以及当被驱逐者将未成年子女留给配偶时。女性的移民计划较高，而父母的移民计划随着时间的推移略有下降，
