In this episode, Havilah talks with Perla Trevizo, a journalist who has been covering immigration issues all over the world for the past decade. As promised, the episode explores our southern boarder and the crisis that has been and continues to brew there. Havilah and Perla discuss what the actual facts are, what it means to seek asylum, why people are choosing to come into the US through ways other than established crossing points, and how immigration is a world-wide issue.
