Episode 28
Guest: Alejandra Martinez
Host: Shimon Cohen, LCSW
Alejandra Martinez, Workshop Coordinator of the Border Rights Project at Al Otro Lado, describes the harsh realities facing migrants and asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border — including illegal waitlists, family separation, and the "Remain in Mexico" policy. She explains how her team provides legal orientation, "Know Your Rights" sessions, and connections to shelter and medical care in Tijuana, offering a trauma-informed, supportive space for people who have endured long and dangerous journeys. This episode is a sobering and essential look at the human cost of U.S. immigration policy and the frontline work of those fighting for dignity and justice.
