Cross-Border Group Travels to Chiapas

Zapatistas respond to questions about immigration

Richard Schaefer, associate professor, Communication & Journalism, led his UNM Cross-Border Issues Group from their base in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, to the state of Chiapas to further their research on immigration. Schaefer’s group last year focused on Mexican immigration to the United States. This year, the perspective was expanded to include immigration from Guatemala to Mexico as well as intra-Mexico migration. The trip included crossing the Mexican-Guatemalan border seeing the difference between that international border and the muro, or wall, being erected between the U.S. and Mexico.
