This chapter will focus on cross-border ties that Latinx immigrants maintain with their countries of origin. The authors discussed factors related to ethnic identity, language, and biculturalism/multiculturalism and explored issues associated with navigating changes faced when returning to their native countries, such as shifts in roles and social identities. The authors also engaged in reflecting about the significance of support and finding symbolic ways for individuals to uphold a connection with their roots. Finally, the chapter ends with a discussion on the importance of representation and advocacy for the Latinx immigrants.
