As the United States continues to argue over the future of the illegal immigrants traveling across its borders ,I went on a joumey to discover what hardships people crossing the border from Tijuana, Mexico must face. I worked at a soup kitchen, where I came into contact with many poor citizens who had recently arrived in Tijuana. One of the people I served was a Guatemalan named Juan , who washed cars for low pay in the US. After we spoke for 10 minutes,Juan introduced me to his girlfriend,a local stripper who offered to give me a free lap dance if I ever decided to visit the club across the street. I certainly didn"t need to respond to this. I also visited a shelter for the recently deported and those who have recently arrived in Tijuana from other Mexican states. Tijuana is home to more than l.5 million people and is populated by many migrants who arrive and leave mostly for reasons of unemployment. Having dinner at the shelter,l talked with those who planned to stay the night. Seated at my table was a man in his 40s. He had recently been deported from Los Angeles for not having the proper legal documentation. The only belongings he carried with him were a few clothes and an album filled with pictures of his wife and three daughters in Los Angeles. I was surprised by how open he was in sharing his story. I feel bad for not learning his name before I left. Returning to my country on the final day of my trip awakened a strange feeling inside me. I went on this trip with an open mind and heart and was given the chance to communicate with so many different people that I wouldn"t have met in my everyday life. I felt guilty for taking so many things for granted, while people a few hundred miles away are already satisfied with the simpler things that they have. | |||
