Thank you for this beautiful piece, Jim. Felicia and Victor's vision in creating the Sidewalk School, their solidarity with migrating people and their persistence are inspirational.
Thank you Jim for another sobering look at the reality on the border. Again I'm left with conflicting feelings, both hopeful because of the good work being done but also despair at the trauma our government is inflicting in our name. Thanks as always for your dedication. Onward!
Well Done Jim! Very key paragraph for me was when Felicia states that..."If I’m telling you something different, and you’ve been bombarded with this false narrative constantly, why would you believe me?" Resonated with me as it has been my own personal experience as well in sharing the truth to those who believe the false narrative, the crisis, the invasion, and on and on..., which is why it is so important to urge potential Congressional candidates to speak the truth and share the information and say it over and over. This needs to be done in every state. People like you Jim , you are doing all you can. Keep up your good work. This is a pivotal year for our country. May compassionate hearts and minds prevail~
Thank you, Kate & Tony. Yes, the firehose of disinformation and fear-mongering on this side of the $$ militarized border continues to endanger and kill our fellow human beings.
During Title 42, Jim and I saw racial bias for ourselves. Where people with brown and black skin were being held up and interrogated, he and I, with our white faces, were walking back and forth across the border, without one single question about our Covid status, immunizations, nothing!

I would like to learn more about the CBP One app being biased, is this provable and what is being done about it?
It's been beset by technical problems from the beginning, to say nothing of the unfairness of "Ticketmaster for immigration." Here's a recent link: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/south-texas-el-paso/news/2024/03/28/democrats-send-letter-to-mayorkas-raising-concerns-about-cbp-one-app
Here's another one, Janet! https://www.theborderchronicle.com/p/facing-bias-cbps-immigration-app
