to include the U.S. borderlands. Most of us are often psychologically and physically removed from the pain of those who have felt compelled to leave their homelands. Unless we happen to live along our southern border, we don’t usually think too much about what the person bussing our plates or cleaning our hotel rooms has done to get to this country. It usually takes something like the image of a little boy, seemingly asleep in the sand, but washed up on shore to wake us up. Yet what can we do about the refugee crisis in Europe, or the one on our southern border? What is our responsibility, given the struggles of those already present among us?
