In the 35 years Gilda and Juan Francisco Loureiro have been running a shelter in northern Mexico for undocumented immigrants, they’ve never seen a week like this one.
The
shelter, called Albergue San Juan Bosco, is perched on a steep hillside
looking over the busy border town of Nogales, Mexico. Its walls are
painted bright turquoise and tangerine, and its wide-open double doors
look west over low hills and Highway 15. Since they opened it, upward of
1 million people have slept there on their way to the U.S. But on the
day I visited, it was almost empty.
