The Hunters and the Hunted

This week has been a departure from the normal pace of postings on the blog. I've been discussing issues in El Salvador that affect not only the Salvadoran people, but also their big neighbor up north.

Today, I ran across a great radio story entitled "Sasabe," that shadows a "routine" crossing of the desert from Northern Mexico to the US. Scott Carrier, an independent producer, follows one group of people (mainly Mexicans) as they make this particular journey.

Mr. Carrier does not neglect the other perspective. The second part of the series, "Sly and Lisa," revolves around the day-to-day fears of one border patrol agent and his wife. No matter where you stand on the issue, these two groups' eventual reunion later than night will make you swallow hard.

To listen to both "Sasabe," and "Sly and Lisa," check out the following link:
