This darling cute little baby is on the front cover of the Times. When you read the caption it’s quite depressing. You come to find out that this baby is living in danger in Tijuana, Mexico. This story fascinates me because I have recently become very enthralled with the war along our borders. There is a show on TV that I watch that captures that war that is occurring along our borders and within our country. This baby is the face of that war. The border is where people are crossing both legally and illegally to try and gain a better life here in the US. However, it has become so hard for Mexican and other South Americans to get legal papers that many are forced to cross illegally. This saddens me because some of these people are in such retched conditions back home that are littered with cartel violence.
