recently participated in a border immersion experience in El Paso, Texas, hosted by Maryknoll Lay Missioners.
and then reported in our Catholic Herald. Why "nearly impossible"?
According to Laura Talamantes, an attorney for the Diocesan Migrant & Refugee Services, Inc., a nonprofit legal clinic supported by the Diocese of El Paso, application fees for legal residency increased in July, from $325 to around $900.
“For our clients, we’re concerned that they will not be able to afford the application fees,” she said.
Is it harder to scrape up than, say, the cost of passage here from Europe in the 1840s?
P.S. I notice the web site for Diocesan Migrant & Refugee Services, Inc. is English Only.
