Asylum Seekers: Hope and Disappointment on the Border - Hardcover

by Patricia Sutton (Author)

Individuals who are persecuted or endure gang and gender-based violence in their home countries face a difficult decision--stay or leave. Asylum seekers travel through dangerous conditions to the US-Mexico border in hopes of finding safety and refuge. This title examines how current events, political policies, and a global pandemic have made the asylum process more difficult. Personal stories of those on the journey help readers understand the people who seek asylum at the southern border.
