Stories about families separated while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border really started making international headlines back in 2017.
That’s when the Trump administration first piloted a program that separated migrant parents from their children as a way to try to deter future migration.
The policy was by far the most brazen example of how the U.S.-Mexico border separates families, but U.S. immigration laws have been driving wedges between families for a long time.
KPBS border podcast “Port of Entry” continues its series on cross-border love stories with two families separated by deportation, and how their love keeps them connected despite the border wall between them.
