This paper analyzes the school insertion of American minors of Mexican origin in the state of Oaxaca. This is one of the Mexican states which is most affected by the return of Mexican migrants due to the tightening of the Trump administration's immigration policy. The findings show that these children go through differentiated school trajectories in Oaxaca due to their immigration status, which causes social and educational exclusion and has important consequences for their present and future life.
