I am a migration research and policy expert focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. I am primarily interested on mobility, transit, border enforcement, and Western Hemispheric migration policy. My current book project, titled: “Undeportable” examines the mobility experiences of migrants from the African and Asian continents who travel in and through Latin America to reach destinations primarily in Canada and the United States.
