Pablo Perigrina was our guide (PT Operations Manager) who also told us about getting dehydration and lost in the desert one time. He also brought his guitar and sang a song about a 14 head-old El Salvador girl who died trying to get her and her little brother to California. The little brother survived and made it.
I have video of those two parts of Pablo's story, but need to figure out how to rotate them 90 degrees before posting them. I don't want to be blamed for a rash of neck injuries from people watching with their head turned sideways!
Reflections:
My heart absolutely breaks thinking about what my fellow human beings endure to find security and a better life here on this side of the border. There is something that I find vital to any immigration discussion and that is the maintaining the sense of human dignity. It is such a complicated issue, but I think that there are some foundational principles like human dignity that we might all agree on.
