The Kino Border Initiative (KBI) immersion offers participants the opportunity to spend time with migrants and learn from their stories, as well as understand the broader context of the U.S./Mexico border and immigration policies. The immersion includes time in Kino's shelter and comedor (soup kitchen), where participants will serve food and have the chance to speak with individuals who are awaiting asylum or who were recently deported. Groups will also participate in mass with ranchers in a rural town in southern Arizona and learn about their experiences and perspectives, attend immigration court, meet with border patrol, and experience conditions in the Arizona/Mexico desert. Throughout the experience, participants will engage in reflection, dialogue, and advocacy-and will be asked to translate their learned experience into action steps upon return to campus.
