Southern Arizona borderlands students had their daily check in at 8:30 a.m. on the Borderlands Restoration Campus met with a special guest: German! Students then drove through the San Rafael valley, where they visited and ate lunch at a historic school German’s great-great grandparents created. Then, students took a short walk to the border wall between Southern Arizona and Mexico where they learned about the policies and culture around immigration and how it’s progressed throughout the last few decades. Finally, students stopped at a local named Jeff’s property, where he talked to students about the history of minors in Patagonia and the once-booming mining industry which faded out over time.
