We Were Always Here: A Mexicn American's Odyssey

Looking for the Border Crisis

Today, I searched for the border crisis.

Just as countless politicians have done, I traveled to where Mexico and the United States meet. This was at least my 500th time spending at the border.

I saw hundreds of pedestrians, some walking north, others south. U.S. and Mexican officials looked on, as usual appearing bored or engaged in chit chat.

But the crisis was elusive. It hid from me, just as it always does.
