An uplifting real life refugee story from this morning.
I'm not sure if you know, but many Haitian refugees have been stuck in TJ for more than a year now, awaiting entry into the U.S.
Usually, when I travel thru here, I see them in their camp which resembles skid row in Los Ángeles. Today as I walked down the street, I saw this man dressed in what appeared to be a law enforcement uniform. At first glance my mind was puzzled, the color of his skin confused me for a minute as he did not resemble the average Afro-Mexican men I'm used to seeing, he was carrying a stop sign and in the confusion I thought he might have been a U.S. Cop walking around in the heart of TJ for some odd reason...and then, as he started directing traffic into a parking lot with a huge smile on his face, his accent helped me realize he was a refugee. He looked very proud to have a job.
