Readjusting to life in Mexico is a difficult task for the thousands of Mexican immigrants who get deported from the United States each year. It's even harder for those, like Reyna Rodriguez, with children who were born in the United States.

Rodriguez went back to Mexico last December. She had been living in Georgia for the last 12 years, until a local cop pulled her over for not stopping at a stop sign and discovered she was an undocumented immigrant. She was then handed a notice to leave the country.
