Walk In Their Shoes
Walk In Their Shoes
Rarely does America see anything like this - a huge press of humanity streaming through Mexico, dreaming of life across the US border. Donald Trump, his administration paralysed over the $8 billion wall he needs to shut them out, calls them invaders.
So who are these people and what are they fleeing?
They've killed most of my family - my dad, my brother. We're running. Only God is with us – Tatyana, on the gang violence in her homeland Honduras

She and her husband Ruben, with their two small children and another well on the way, press on.
