SUMMARY Sonia Nazario, Pulitzer Prize winner for her feature story about immigration, turned her articles into her bestselling memoir, Enrique’s Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His Mother. By physically retracing the very steps and train rides of teenage immigrant Enrique, Nazario faced the same obstacles and dangers. Her bravery and authenticity make her book a standout among immigrant literature. Historically, immigrants on the southern border have been mostly men. However, Nazario joined the newest wave of American immigrants—single moms who have left their children to find work. Consequently, their abandoned children eventually follow, desperate to find their absent mothers. So, from the beginning, Nazario insisted on publishing Enrique’s Journey in both Spanish and English in order to inform the women migrating. They need to know, she insists, both the advantages and potential costs and dangers of such a choice. Simply put, “For most migrants, the biggest downside to coming to the United States is the damage caused by years of separation for parents and children.” Evenhanded and honest about a hotly debated topic, Nazario manages to transcend the details of Enrique’s story and to invite us to consider vetted solutions that can stem the exodus at its source. She proposes we provide economic opportunities to keep people stay in their countries; help stop the flow of drugs; reduce gang violence; bolster good governance; promote foreign aid to nonprofits; be more compassionate towards those trying to escape harm; make it easier to get to our immigration courts, including providing attorneys for children. Although Nazario still carries post-traumatic stress from riding the rails, the price she paid to capture this raw memoir continues to pay dividends. Today, thousands of readers are not only armed with powerful immigration statistics but also emotionally charged to improve immigration policies. KEY POINTS Train trips on El Tren de la Muerte (“The Train of Death”) through Central America and Mexico characterize a modern-day immigrant odyssey in which children face perils such as gangsters, drug lords, corrupt cops—a whole cast of characters out to rob, beat, rape, and deport them. Mexico reports 40K children are traveling alone from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala—the most violent countries in the world. Most don’t make it but, instead, end up back in Central America. Biggest danger – gangs who see a business opportunity in controlling the tops of trains and shaking down migrants who ride on top Emotional distress is rampant among children who reunite with mothers. Having once idealized their mothers, they feel angry, resentful, and distrusting. They say they would have preferred having their mothers stay to having received money from them. One in four Fortune 500 companies has been founded by immigrants who are full of gumption, willing to take risks, and able to see things from a different perspective. As a result of immigration, two groups lose out: 1) Americans without a high-school education whose wages meet a downward pressure and 2) migrants themselves (who, ironically, often lose their children’s love) QUOTES FROM NAZARIO   “[Today’s immigrants] are not coming here for a better life; they are fleeing for their very lives.” “Whatever [immigration] policies we have…should involve keeping families together whether it’s finding a way to keep more of them together in their home countries or having folks migrate here as a unit.” “Walls do not work. Ask China. They built the mother of all walls, and it did not keep out the Mongols.” “Republicans need an immigration policy that has more heart, and Democrats need a policy that has an element of the rule of law—we can’t take in everyone from around the world, but don’t deport people who’ve been here 30 years.” BUY Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His Mother  RECOMMENDATIONS Watch Sonia Nazario’s TEDx Talk, “Solving Illegal Immigration [For Real].” Read Nazario’s New York Times articles about immigration.

The only Republican in the House from LA County, Steve Knight, is facing a strong challenge from first-time Democrat Katie Hill. He's against Obamacare; she's for Medicare for All -- and her chances look good. Dana Goodyear of the New Yorker reports. Plus: Despite Trump's reversal on family separation at the border, the crisis continues. Sonia Nazario, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author of "Enrique's Journey," a book that detailed experiences of Latin American children immigrating to the US, joins us today to talk about Trump's fake news, the experiences of migrants, and how we might improve family detention while people are waiting for their asylum hearings. Also: a really bad week at the Supreme Court Unions: for unions, for stopping gerrymandering, and for replacing Justice Anthony Kennedy: Harold Meyerson of the American Prospect reports on what we should do now.

It's been a while. We are bringing you some new conversations soon. But this time, we are re-releasing our episode with Claudia Pech. Back in December, we talked about Trump's comments on Mexicans, the difficulties of being an undocumented immigrant, and the state of the conversation surrounding immigration. After listening to a lecture by Sonia Nazario (Pullitzer Prize winner) on immigration for the E. N. Thompson Forum on World Issues at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I decided to re-release this episode and go buy her bestselling book, "Enrique's Journey."

Sonia Nazario on a train in Mexico Sonia Nazario, author of “Enrique’s Journey: the story of a boy’s dangerous odyssey to reunite with his mother” talks to Steve Scher about the plight of one of the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors who illegally cross Mexico by freight train and then the U.S. border in order to reunite with their families in the U.S.She spoke to Seattle area audiences April 2015, about America’s Immigration Dilemma and the policies that might help these families. Tens of thousands of Central American children, unaccompanied by parents or other adults are hopping freights and fleeing the drug cartels, the gangs and the thuggish police in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Almost 50 thousand arrived by the middle of the summer of 2014, when the surge captured media and political attention. These children are often robbed, raped, beaten or kidnapped along the way. Thousands are detained in detention cells for months before their fate- often deportation is determined.  There are at least 5 holding facilities in the Puget Sound Area alone.  Though this story exploded onto the public mind last year, it has been a humanitarian crisis for years. Journalist Sonia Nazario won a Pulitzer Prize for her LA Times coverage in 2003 for “Enrique’s Journey,” a Honduran boy’s search for his mother who emigrated to the U.S.  It became a best selling book in 2006.   In 2014, her book gathered attention again, as the rising flood of young children peaked at about 60 thousand by the end of the year.   Numbers are lower in 2015, as the U.S. has paid Mexico interdict the migrants before they reach our border. However the violence, criminality and chaos these children are fleeing has continued unabated.Sonia Nazario’s book is assigned in schools and universities around the world. She speaks to organizations and communities about the difficult journey, the hard conditions these young people are fleeing and the need to at least provide them with legal representation at immigration hearings.For more information about KIND and  about Sonia Nazario as well as the other guest speakers visiting the UW, search for UW Alumni Association.For more interviews with those guests, search for At Length with Steve ScherYou can also find us on iTunes and Stitcher.
