El Paso, June 21 (RHC)-- Nearly 200 separated families have met along the U.S.-Mexico border for the eighth annual “Hugs Not Walls.”  The event allows Mexican nationals with irregular immigration status the opportunity to briefly leave the U.S. to embrace their family members in Mexico.

Jaqueline Sosa had not seen her sister and nephew for three years.  She told reporters: “I didn’t tell her much.  I just hugged her, and that’s all.  I hugged her and told her that I loved her very much and loved them very much.”

The groups Border Network for Human Rights and Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance host the annual action, which highlights the ongoing devastation caused by inhumane immigration policies.
