A migrant's musings: A testimonial essay Alvaro H Blanco

This insightful story delves deep into the vibrant city of Tijuana, the unsuspected meeting point of hopeful travellers from all over the world. Focusing on the two Central American migrant caravans that arrived on the border city in 2018, A Migrant's Musings explores the phenomenon of migration toward the American dream from the unusual perspective of a European stuck in Tijuana with his sights set on the U. S. However, his journey is vastly different than that of the thousands of people who risk everything to get a second chance at life in the land of dreams.
