By showing the complexity behind youth's migration, Heidbrink demonstrates that efforts to pathologize parents as negligent or exploitative evades a full accounting of the state's responsibility in creating the conditions that lead to migration. However, Heidbrink carefully documents how youth conceive of their migration in a relational and reciprocal manner, as members of households where they receive and provide unpaid and paid labor that nurtures and ensures the survival of Indigenous families. Securitized development is paired with securitized approaches to international migration through the Mexican Southern Border Program, introduced in 2014 to stem the flow of unaccompanied minors, adults and families arriving at the US-Mexico border.
