His research and teaching interests focus on U.S.-Mexico border studies, international migrations and human rights, and U.S. population of Mexican origin in the United States. He is a leading participant in international scholarly networks dealing with these themes and has played a major role in building and sustaining scholarly linkages between Mexico and the United States.

Bustamante has been quoted as a leading expert in the field of international migrations by most major newspapers in the United States and his commentary has been featured on programs such as Night Line, 60 Minutes, and the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour. He has published over 200 articles on Mexican immigration to the United States, US-Mexico border phenomena and US-Mexico relations in scholarly journals from the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Venezuela, Spain and Mexico."
