American political battle over immigration reaches a boiling point under a Texas bridge
CBC
Dave Kroeger was torn. In the midst of a chaotic migration crisis, he grappled in his own head with the same tensions cleaving his country.
The American debates over immigration, characterized by a decade of stalemate and political paralysis, were playing out under a nearby bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
And they unsettled Kroeger's mind.
On the one hand, he's an ardent supporter of former U.S. president Donald Trump. He wants a wall with Mexico and he thinks immigration needs stricter controls.
On the other hand, there are people he loves from Haiti and some were stuck in a makeshift camp under that bridge in Del Rio.
He got to know Haitians after the 2010 earthquake, when he installed solar panels there as part of a faith-led volunteer mission.
He's remained in such frequent, even daily, contact with them that he now refers to them as his family.
