Border Stories: On the Frontlines of the Immigration Debate
Immigration reform is the hot button issue in the U.S. Talk to your
colleagues, friends or family, about it, and you¹re certain to spark a
debate about what should be done with the 12 million undocumented people
working and living in this country.
In fact, the U.S. Congress remains deadlocked over the issue, each side
unable to hammer out a compromise that makes sense. So why is there so much
debate?
On this edition, people who¹ve risked their lives to enter the U.S. undocumented share their personal stories of why they came, and what they hope for their futures and the future of immigrants in this country.
