bordercrosssingdeathFrom Mary Cueves comes the details of her trip down to see the work a border crossing group does to help immigrants

It’s a typically horrifying story–death, desperation, gendered violence, and ineffectiveness riddle the pictures and words.I’ve never suggested that our border policies were either perfect or completely horribly wrong, but I must say that it’s important to note that people don’t risk death without very very good reason. If there is any person in the U.S. who would say that they wouldn’t attempt a border crossing if it meant keeping food in front of their children, I’d say that that person is not a parent.

There has to be a better way.
And thank God for the few people who truly are acting as Christians.
