Kino Border Initiative: Linking Across Borders, Not Building Fences

Jesuit Refugee Service/USA and five partner organizations have officially launched the Kino Border Initiative in the twin cities of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico and Nogales, Arizona, U.S.A. The Kino Border Initiative is “very much in the spirit of the letter signed by the Mexican and U.S. Bishops in January of 2003, ‘Strangers No Longer.’ In that letter they urged a serious, just, loving and humane approach to the issue of migration, and to do so in a cooperative way, to respond across borders, because the reality of immigration and migration is a global one, a bi-national one,” said Fr. Sean Carroll, S.J., director of the initiative.
