Here are the faces of undocumented immigration:
â— A Salvadoran mother wrapping her arms around her 7-year-old son, worry in her eyes, as they turn themselves into the Border Patrol in Mission, Texas.
â— Golfers enjoying themselves as they tee up at their Texas club, the green overlooking the border with Mexico. â—Migrant farm laborers diligently loading boxes of organic kale into a truck in Colorado because Americans won’t do the work. â—A tea party activist angrily screaming racist epithets during a demonstration in Phoenix.
â— A border guard looming on a hill next to a wall, made powerful and anonymous in silhouette. Each face tells a story in John Moore’s new book, “Undocumented.”
The migrants and border agents and ordinary Americans each play a part in our immigration saga, a boiling stew of conflicting national priorities, with few people taking the middle ground.
