In the 100-plus-year history of teacher education in Mexico, attention has been episodic, has often reflected national refractions of ideas originating elsewhere, and has been centrally intertwined with national governmental efforts to shape what it means to be Mexican. Variously, teacher education has been buffeted by attempts to be Catholic, modern, secular, socialist, neoliberal, and globally competitive economically. In all of this, there has been a tension between centralist (focusing on Mexico City) and nationalist impulses, on the one hand (making teaching patriotic work and the teachers’ union part of the national government), and attention to regional variations, including Mexico’s indigenous populations, rural populations, and economic diversity, on the other. While Mexico’s more than two million teachers may all work in the same country, where one is trained (i.e., which escuela normal, or normal school), where one works (from public schools in affluent and stable neighborhoods to rural telesecundarias where resources are scarce and teachers are not expected to be content area experts), how many shifts one works (it is common for Mexican educators to work at more than one school to compensate for limited salary), which state one works in (funding varies significantly by state), and what in-service professional development one has access to all mean for variations in teacher preparation and teacher praxis.

Yet such advances in educational policy and curricula are limited and sometimes contradictory: the recognition of ethno-cultural diversity remains focused almost exclusively on the 'Indigenous question,' and ignores not only long-standing immigrant groups to Mexico (e.g., Lebanese, Chinese, Jews, South Americans), but also significant new flows of immigrants from Asia, Central America, and the United States. Of particular note are those Mexicandescendant students whose families have returned from the U.S. but whose children were raised in U.S. schools and society. While we find some promising advances in policy and curriculum, actual teacher training and practice lags sadly behind.

The distribution of a binational, under-18 population in both countries illuminates the demographic conditions whereby some American/Mexican children may be growing up in a different country than a parent or both parents. Through juxtaposed cases, the chapter illuminates how school and safety factor into binational parents’ decisions about where their children should live and whether an arrangement other than living together makes the most sense. Despite political rhetoric in both countries about the importance of family unity, extant policies sometimes make “parenting from afar” a more pragmatic course of action.

In the first raids, concurrent sweeps in six different communities that hosted Swift plants, children, and schools emerged as important and sympathy-generating themes as children were separated from detained parents and schools were left struggling to figure out what to do with those children. Both of these issues distracted from the intended law enforcement thrust of the raids, reducing their popularity and making them more controversial. In contrast, the May 2008 raid at a kosher meat-processing facility in Postville, Iowa, had the ICE enforcement agents querying their detainees about whether they had children and placing those who answered yes under house arrest. Although this, too, destroyed the former workers' chance at earning a livelihood, it did not separate mothers from children, nor ...
