Jan Haaken interviews Sophie Smith about travel conditions for immigrants.
Jan Haaken talks with Sophie Smith. Sophie works with No More Deaths, a humanitarian organization that tries to make sure no one dies in the deserts of the Mexican-American border, and stands by the motto: humanitarian aid is never a crime. She recounts her own experience in the Sonora Desert of Arizona, and argues from her experience that nothing less than powerful desperation is compelling people to risk their lives crossing the border.
Visit the No More Deaths website to learn more about their projects, of which desert aid is just one.
