Migrants from all over the world would arrive fleeing war, escaping poverty and seeking opportunity. Open borders made our country strong. But many Americans today are horrified by the idea of \\u201copen borders.\\u201d Harsh new immigration policies are making it more difficult than ever to come to the U.S. or even ask for asylum. Nevertheless, violence, oppression, poverty, desperation, and hope continue to drive migrants to our borders. Last year, more than 1,000 migrants from Central America gathered near the border of Guatemala and Mexico to travel north in search of asylum.\\xa0 \\xa0 Radical\\xa0Imagination\\xa0host\\xa0Angela Glover Blackwell\\xa0of\\xa0PolicyLink\\xa0sits down with Roberto Corona, founder of\\xa0People Without Borders, an organization that assisted this refugee caravan.
