For years, Flores has served as an immigration policy advisor to Democrats at the national level, including President Biden. She talks about what went wrong, and what Democrats should be doing now.
On the connections between a drought devastated Sierra Tarahumara and the multi-billion dollar Border Security Expo. Plus, a heartfelt request for paid subscribers to support our work at the border.
As mentioned in the video, here’s a link to sign up for next year’s Migrant Trail Walk from Sasabe, Arizona to Tucson.
Also, as promised some fabulous photos by Kathleen Dreier from the binational protest on May 31 in southern Arizona against the Trump Administration building a 30-foot wall through the San Rafael Valley, a vital wildlife corridor for endangered species like the jaguar. Left to right, participants on both sides imagine a migratory pathway without barriers, a cross-border volleyball game, and Santa Cruz County Sheriff David Hathaway speaks on the importance of a binational border culture.

Since we launched The Border Chronicle in September 2021, it has been our goal to reach 2,000 paid subscribers. Why 2,000 subscribers, you might ask? Because that would be nearly enough funding to provide us (cofounders Todd and Melissa) with a sustainable salary to run The Border Chronicle full time. Imagine what we could do focused on our media outlet 100 percent?! It would be amazing.
But … we’re not going to lie. It’s been a tough climb to reach our goal. We are still 700 subscribers short. Yesterday, we posted a heartfelt request for more paid subscribers to reach our magic number — 2000. Thank you to everyone who has pledged your support so far! And thank you for your encouraging messages. Here are just a few of them.
"The Border Chronicle is essential reading for its in-depth analysis combined with a deep love for the diverse social and natural worlds of the borderlands.”

"On the ground, grassroots reporting is what you do so well. There is so much misinformation about the border and immigration in these current political times. I value and trust the reporting Border Chronicle does. Thank you.
— James M
"Hi, I had been following your work for years and I believe it's beyond important. Thank you so much for your labor!"
— Ramon R
We hope these good people and their kind remarks — and our in depth and on-the-ground reporting — will convince you to support our work. It’s just $6 a month or a discounted $60 a year. Or even better, become a founding member for $150 and you’ll receive two additional paid annual subscriptions. A deal! Just click on the button below.
Yes, I’d like to support The Border Chronicle and independent journalism today!
