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, \u003ci\u003eScaling Migrant Worker Rights\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighly original and timely, \u003ci\u003eScaling Migrant Worker Rights \u003c\/i\u003eshines 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\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e--Leah F.
