Hundreds of families and border residents separated by the U.S.-Mexico
border gathered Monday at a chain-link fence separating the countries
for a binational protest targeting U.S. immigration policy.
Mothers sobbed, sisters exchanged laughs and children swapped candy
through the fence during an event organized by immigrant rights
activists to illustrate how the border and immigration policy divides
families. The event, timed to coincide with Pope Francis’ visit to
Mexico, drew about 50 people on the Mexican side and an estimated 250 on
the U.S. side.
