It´s a blue Christmas for many Mexican migrants
Tagged: border, family, MexicoPosted on: December 11th, 2006“For many Mexican immigrants living in the United States, the holidays have come to represent a time of sadness.
Separated by a border that has become harder and harder to cross, many immigrants must make the agonizing choice between staying away from family south of the border or risk not being able to return to their jobs in the United States.
Last October, the U.S. Con- gress enacted the Secure Fence Act, which marked the first steps toward building a 700-mile-long fence across part of the U.S.-Mexico border. As a result, undocumented workers – many of whom just want to work and send money back home – are finding it more difficult to cross back.”
