Crossing the US-Mexico border to get to school

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

Students in towns and cities that dot the US-Mexico border are, in many ways, like students everywhere. They wake up, get dressed, pack their homework and maybe a lunch. But some students on the Texas border grab something else on their way out the door: their passport.
