Description

Democrats Abroad member Amerika Garcia Grewal joins Rachel and David to talk about a return visit to her home town: Eagle Pass, Texas.
She has now witnessed the horrible situations that migrants trying to get into the United States face as they try to cross the Rio Grande river.
Amerika recently was a part of a group that went onto the river to see the newly installed barriers made out of floating buoys and razor wire.
She also saw the people that are pushing through these barriers to find a better life in the United States.
Amerika gives a first-hand account of the way that her home town has changed, and the need for border security without cruelty.
Check back soon for a link to Amerika's photographs.
