Description
Just on the other side of the border wall in San Ysidro on Wednesday, May 3, a group of 17 people from Colombia sat in a dirt lot.
They came from different parts of the country, but they tell pretty much the same story. Life at home has become too dangerous. Twenty-one-year-old Harvey DeJada says the day he left to come here, one of his best friends was murdered.
Harvey says there was never a moment at home where he felt safe. “The people wake up dead every day,” he said through bars in the fence. “It's really dangerous. Extortions. Corruption.”
