"Lukeville Port Closure Sparks Concerns of Border Towns and Migrant Influx"

The closure of the Lukeville port of entry on the Arizona/Mexico border due to the surge of migrants entering the United States is expected to have a domino effect on other border towns, according to Manuel Ruiz, chairman of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors. The closure will put stress on other ports of entry, slow down operations, and hurt businesses on both sides of the border. Ruiz called for more resources and a permanent solution to the ongoing crisis.

"The Wind Knows My Name": A Captivating Review of Isabel Allende's Latest Book.

Isabel Allende's latest novel, The Wind Knows My Name, tells the story of two child immigrants, a boy who escapes Nazi-occupied Vienna in 1938 and a girl who escapes military gangs in El Salvador in 2019. The narrative follows their migrations to the United States and their eventual meeting. Allende disrupts the mainstream narrative about the southern border and discovers the human capacity for hope and decency in the midst of despair. The story is a love letter to children trapped by geopolitical violence and left to navigate immigration by themselves.
