Roughly half a million Mexicans live in New York, yet national borders keep Mexican New Yorkers separated from their families in their native country for decades. Immigration status and money are common reasons these families have remained apart for so long.
As part of a program run by Mi Casa es Puebla and the government of Puebla, Mexico, local residents involved with their communities in New York have the opportunity to be reunited with their parents for three weeks.
This is the night that 74 families were first reunited. / Brooklyn Eagle
