Trump's Wall: Your Neighbor

from Home of the Brave Hosted by scott carrier

An undocumented farm worker in New England, USA. Photo by Erica Heilman. Trump's Wall: Your Neighbor Erica Heilman Download Donald Trump promised to build a wall along the border with Mexico but at this point there is little support in Congress to actually fund the construction. And there's been a sharp decline in illegal immigration since Trump took office, even without an actual wall. Perhaps the reason for the decline is the fear generated by Trump's deportation policy. So this story is an interview with an undocumented farm worker. He talks about why he left home and what it's like working 16 hours a day, and how he's afraid to leave the farm for fear of being deported. And there's about 12 million other people here who feel the same way. Donate
