Given the call to examine the U.S.-Mexico border as both discursive and material, I focus on the enactments of migrant-rights violations and immigration-related trauma creating mental health concerns for those experiencing it. Concerned with the complex, long-term effects of child separation and detention centers, I provide a historically and structurally grounded analysis of the psychological and emotionally systemic violence at the U.S.-Mexico border. I argue for how rhetorical border studies can address the transmission of intergenerational trauma, consequences of the forced parent-child separation, and possible critical interventions to this human rights issue, which are more important now than ever
