A full-day excursion on April 1st brought to life our study of migration. We walked on migrant trails in the Arizona desert; interviewed migrants to learn their stories at Mexico’s border patrol Grupos Beta; ate lunch with a family at their home in an informal settlement colonia; walked along the border fence and to the memorial for Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez; spoke with Jesuit priests who work with migrants at the Kino Border Initiative; visited a community center that provides services to make border life more sustainable in Mexico; held discussions about migration and globalization. The fieldtrip was safely guided by staff of BorderLinks, a Tucson educational nonprofit.
