This is a lovely, painful and important tribute to those who dare to cross the border in search of not-a-better life, but rather "a life." We cannot know, nor can we imagine the desperation that drives these people. But we can respect it.
Please pass this on and remind everyone you know that "a human being cannot be illegal." Our gardners, housekeepers, fieldhands, cooks are not "illegals," they are economic and political refugees.
Valarie James, Antonia Gallegos and others from the Las Madres Project have reached into the heart of the tragedy of border crossers in our beautiful, but fierce, desert. Their art speaks for those without voices, and calls to all of us.
Every time I walk past Las Madres, I cannot help but feel a reverence for these beautiful sculptures. !No mas lamigras!
