A study by the US state department has estimated that there are as many as one million Americans living illegally in Mexico. The figures, confirmed by Mexico’s national statistics institute, mean that 80 percent of the US expat population lack proper documents. Those people now fear a tit-for-tat measure by the Mexican government in case the US moves to deport illegal Mexican immigrants.

Press TV’s Alasdair Baverstock has filed this report from Mexico City.
