The Park Where Families Meet on the US-Mexico Border

Suketu Mehta, Associate Professor of journalism at New York University, offers us a look at what family separation really feels like in his book, This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrantâs Manifesto. Do not miss his moving narrative of the Park of Tears, âthe patch of land between San Diego and Tijuana, where loved ones reunite across a mesh fence, poking pinkies through the holes to touch each other.â It has been the only place along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexican border where you could meet your family face-to-face across the border.
