PODCAST: WHY WE WROTE THIS

Writer’s read: a different border tale

Pressure on the U.S. southern border is real. But over the past decade, more people from Mexico and beyond – people who had initially pictured their futures in the United States – have by choice or circumstances ended up instead building successful lives in Mexico.

See the related article about how migrants headed for the US found their dream opportunity in Mexico.

There may be a brief opportunity after the podcast to share insights and inspired comments about this issue.
