In this eye-opening episode of LibertyWIRE, we delve into the complexities of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis and dispel common myths portrayed by mainstream media. Host John Carlos Frey is joined by Pedro Rios, the director of the American Friends Service Committee's U.S.-Mexico Border Program, who has firsthand experience working along the border for decades.
Pedro shares his insights on the ground realities faced by migrants, the humanitarian work being conducted to support them, and the challenges posed by intensified ICE raids under the Trump administration. We also explore how these policies impact not only undocumented migrants but also documented residents and even U.S. citizens.
Through thoughtful discussion, we aim to cut through the sensationalized narratives and bring to light the human stories behind the headlines. Join us as we uncover the multifaceted dimensions of the border crisis, the quest for policy reform, and the unwavering spirit of communities advocating for dignity and rights.
