Deported migrants attend the NGO New Comienzos Thanksgiving dinner, in Mexico City, on Nov 25, 2020. MEXICO CITY: Mexican migrants deported from the United States celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday with a sense of nostalgia for the country where they went in search of a new life.
The Latin American country is home to a growing number of Mexicans who spent all or most of their lives in the United States without legal residency before they were expelled. Almost 89,000 Mexicans were deported from the United States in the first half of this year, according to the interior ministry, leaving behind friends and in some cases relatives."Celebrating Thanksgiving here takes on another meaning because the dinner connects me with my family there and brings back memories," said 31-year-old Faustino Alanis.
