Border Studies Program Spring 2011. Thursday, May 5, 2011. El Paso - Daniela Medrano. I woke up extra early one morning while we were in El Paso. I headed south from Casa Puente, thinking I’d eventually hit the border wall. Instead I found myself in front of Cesar Chavez highway staring at cargo trains pass along the border of El Paso and Juarez. Who is “safe” in El Paso? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Border Studies Program Spring 2011. Monday, February 14, 2011. My New Normal - Kaitlin Morris. There is no way that someone can carry enough water to last the 3 to 4 days walk. And those 3 days is just the minimum, you can get lost or get blisters that are so bad that half of your foot comes off when you take off your shoes. Or you can suffer from heat exhaustion or hypothermia. Or how to define terrorist activity? Wednesday, February 9, 2011. Field Study at Manzo Elementary - Erin McIlvain. They are now...

Border Studies Program Spring 2011: Poema - Daniela Medrano
http://spring2011borderstudies.blogspot.com/2011/05/poema-daniela-medrano.html
Border Studies Program Spring 2011. Thursday, May 5, 2011. Poema - Daniela Medrano. Yo soy el que manda, yo puedo destruirte. Yo te quito todo, para mi tu no existes. Inmigrante de manos suicias! Que rabia me das. Yo inicio guerra, pero yo solo quiero paz. Yo te tengo confundido, yo quiero darte trabajo. Construyeme una mansion, despues vete al carrajo. Yo no quiero tus costumbres, quiero tu diversidad. No quiero que tus hijos atiendan universidad. Quiero tomar tus ideas pero ni un centavo darte.

They were growing corn in the garden and had thirty ducks and a few chickens in the backyard. In the right season they would be able to live completely off their own land. While walking through the jungle I was thinking about the guerillas fighting against the government and wondering if I could be that brave? The transition fr...
