Anticipating massive repatriations, Mexican deportees get organized

After decades of living in the United States, a group of Mexicans deported to their native Mexico begin a new life with empty pockets and separated from their families. To get back on their feet and anticipating the arrival of thousands more new arrivals, a group of deportees formed the organization named Deportados Unidos en la Lucha. The group has begun lobbying Mexican authorities to provide emergency aid to newcomers. Our correspondant Raúl Silva has the report from Mexico City.
