The Deported: a slideshow

The Fault Lines team met Jose in the San Juan Bosco Shelter in Nogales, Mexico. He was back in the country of his birth for the first time in 31 years. He had been deported hours earlier and had yet to tell his family. Two days earlier, he says, he was riding his bike in Phoenix, Ariz., when a sheriff asked to see his papers.

Protesters at an immigration rally in New Orleans wore t-shirts that said, "We are reconstruction workers". They told Fault Lines correspondent, Josh Rushing, they were welcomed to New Orleans after Katrina to do the dirty work of reconstruction, but now that the city is recovering, they felt they were being cast aside like trash.
