As the Christmas story goes, there was no room at the inn for Mary and Joseph. It's what thousands of migrants who've recently crossed the U.S.-Mexico border now face — no place to sleep or stay. Nicely done, @AngelaKBorder , @jimurquhartpixs @NPR

Migrants warmed by the community as freezing temperatures linger in El Paso

As twinkling Christmas lights cast a warm glow in downtown El Paso, thousands of migrants' search for shelter resonates deeply in the predominantly Catholic border city.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, #cesarchavez . A long, long time ago, I had chance to interview Cesar Chavez. I later showed him parents’ union card. He smiled & said “La Lucha Sigue. The fight continues.” I agree. I keep reporting. Photo ⁦ @BillyCalzada ⁩. Fight on, ⁦ @DallasNewsGuild ⁩

Si durante la pandemia los consideran esenciales para la economia, los trabajadores no deben ser ilegales. La doble moral, hipocresia, de Estados Unidos. Siempre a un paso de la burla, la detención y deportación. Mi nota en español para el @nytimes

La hipocresía estadounidense (Published 2020)

En la pandemia, los trabajadores “ilegales” ahora son considerados “esenciales” por el gobierno de Estados Unidos.

The brilliant @BillyCalzada took this photo with Cesar Chavez when after I interviewed him I said my parents sent greetings & their UFW card. Said I too worked fields in summers. He looked at card, my notepad and said “come back. La lucha sigue.” We both laughed. #CesarChavezDay

Aristotle&Dante is not "a book that was created or sold by a marketing machine. It just kept selling more and more because people loved the book. This was all sold through word of mouth, hand-to-hand, by kids, teachers & librarians," said @BenjaminASaenz

‘Aristotle and Dante’ author Benjamin Alire Sáenz is on a roll, and he’s not slowing down

He’s written a hit sequel and has a movie on the way.
