As international migration continues to rise, sending states play an integral part in "managing" their diasporas, in some cases even stepping in to protect their citizens' labor and human rights in receiving states. At the same time, meso-level institutions--including labor unions, worker centers, legal aid groups, and other immigrant advocates--are among the most visible actors holding governments of immigrant destinations accountable at the local level. The potential for a functional immigrant worker rights regime, therefore, advocates to imagine a portable, universal system of justice and human rights, while simultaneously leaning on the bureaucratic minutiae of local enforcement. Taking Mexico and the United States as entry points, Scaling Migrant Worker Rights analyzes how an array of organizations put tactical pressure on government bureaucracies to holistically defend migrant rights. The result is a nuanced, multilayered picture of the impediments to and potential realization of migrant worker rights.

Highly original and timely, Scaling Migrant Worker Rights shines a light on underexplored actors in the labor rights and protection enforcement process, in particular consular officials from the sending state located in the US and US- and Mexico-based NGOs working at multiple scales--locally, regionally, nationally, and transnationally--Leah F. Vosko, author of Disrupting Deportability: Transnational Workers Organize

"Combining interviews, surveys, newly uncovered government documents, and participant observation, this important and innovative work provides a nuanced, rich, and detailed meso-analysis of institutions and institutional collaboration in Mexico and the US."--Nancy Plankey-Videla, author of We Are in This Dance Together: Gender, Power, and Globalization at a Mexican Garment Firm

"A very robust and nuanced empirical analysis documenting how co-enforcement mechanisms across transnational civil society, consulates, and national governments work to implement existing labor rights protections at international and bilateral levels."--Alexandra Délano Alonso, author of Mexico and Its Diaspora in the United States: Policies of Emigration since 1848
