Children of undocumented Mexicans retrace parents' steps in reverse

Children of undocumented Mexicans retrace parents' steps in reverseTeopantlán (Mexico) (AFP) - They know the skyscrapers of Manhattan better than this small village in rural Mexico, but these 18 children are here to meet their extended families and learn about the world their parents left behind. Born in the United States, they have made the trip without their parents, who remain undocumented immigrants and -- unlike their US citizen children -- cannot travel back to Mexico for fear of being detained and deported by American border authorities. The trip was organized by charitable organizations, which got the parents' permission to take their children out of the country.
