There's a lot on #immigration right now so I went back to look at what I have written. I share this sample of stories because I think with immigration, in particular, often times we find ourselves writing the same stories over and over. How do we move beyond that? Can we?
2014: Federal officials tell former AZ Gov. Jan Brewer that +1,000 minors would be transferred to Arizona over the weekend and held in a converted Border Patrol facility in Nogales.tucson.com/news/local/bor…
2014: I chronicled the story of a young mother and her daughter whom I met at the bus station in Tucson after they had turned themselves in to Border Patrol. This family's story illustrates how the cycle of migration from Guatemala plays out. tucson.com/news/local/bor…
2018: How do you secure the border when most migrants are turning themselves in? The story was told from the Yuma, AZ area, which until then had been cited as the prime example of what a secured border looked like.
