Question

"Formerly Undocumented Woman Teaching Immigrants" by Samuel Gilbert
Most of BNHR’s work goes to support families. On the day I visited, the class was exclusively women, save for one man whose four-year-old son spent the hour-long session sitting in his father’s lap, playing with three small toy race cars.

“We protect our families,” says Castañeda. “Knowing our rights can keep our families together.”

For nearly twenty years the Border Network for Human Rights (BNHR) has attempted to limit the suffering caused by family separation, which threatens eleven million undocumented people living in this country. Their classes have reached thousands of undocumented immigrants in the borderlands of southern New Mexico and west Texas. They are provided free of charge and include basic lessons about the Constitution, the differing powers of state and federal authorities, and the rights people have when dealing with immigration officials.
