Borders Between Us: deported1217

Maria Mendoza-Sanchez and her son Jesus Sanchez, 12, video chat with Jesus' sisters as his father Eusebio Sanchez sleeps next to them before bed in their room which is normally Maria's mother's room in her mother's home Sept. 28, 2017 in Santa Monica, Hidalgo, Mexico. Maria calls her daughters at least once a day every evening to check in on how their days were and to tell them about their lives in Mexico. Maria later sent Jesus back to Oakland because his paperwork did not come through in time at the local school and he would have been held back a year.
