The weekend after Memorial Day, Rep. Joaquín Castro is leading a delegation of Democrats across the border into Mexico to meet with deported U.S. veterans.

The visit is intended to focus attention on the estimated more than 230 military veterans deported from the U.S. and on the need for a more rigorous process to ensure legal residents recruited with promises of citizenship are naturalized.

The lawmakers, all members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, plan to meet the veterans at Deported Veterans Support House, the "Bunker," in Tijuana, Mexico.

The shelter was started by Hector Barajas, a U.S. Army veteran who served three years in prison, a punishment granted in a plea deal for shooting at a car, and was deported. California Gov. Jerry Brown has since pardoned him for the crime and Barajas now has hopes of returning to the U.S.
