Abstract: In recent years, Mexican immigrant living in Arizona have faced several challenges arising from the recent economic crisis and the anti-immigrant policies. In this paper, we analyze the familiar adaptation strategies developed for them in order to optimize their economic and non-economic resources and remain in Arizona. Based on 20 interviews to Mexican families whose were living at Phoenix in 2015, we examined three issues: the family labor reorganization by sex, the public invisibility with the aim to avoid deportations, and making the most of the family documented members.
