“…Modern Mexican migration, deeply entangled in the afterlives of colonialism and US imperialism (see Ibarra, Carlos, and Torres, 2017; Peña et al, 2017), intensified during the late‐twentieth‐century structural adjustment period. The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), in particular, has been credited with the migration of millions of Mexican‐origin workers who were forced to leave their hometowns in search of work to support themselves and their families (Gálvez, 2018; Hing, 2010; Ibarra, Carlos, and Torres, 2017; Portes, 2007). Many scholars have documented US agribusiness's cruel welcome of these migrants with racism, wage theft, poor living conditions, dangerous working environments, and other exploitative practices (Hennebry and Preibisch, 2010; Keller, 2019; Méndez, Flores‐Haro, and Zucker, 2020; Menjívar, 2015; Ness, 2011).…”
