Mexican Border Diary
By Mike Rivage-Seul
Today in the middle of my 80th year, I'm off to Tijuana to work for a couple of weeks with refugees and immigrants at the border. I'll work with Al Otro Lado (AOL), a Tijuana-based social justice and legal services organization whose task is to help asylum-seekers in their quest to find refuge in the United States. I want to take readers with me on this particular expedition of first-hand observation and discovery.
