自去年以來，超過24,000名中國移民經墨西哥邊境進入美國。由於中文服務資源有限，華促會受到聖地牙哥的人道組織邀請，分別於去年十二月及今年三月前往當地為這一批中國移民提供支援。今年三月的最新情況：聖地牙哥移民中心因資源匱乏問題而關閉，導致移民滯留於偏遠的交通站點，與家人團聚成為一項艱鉅的挑戰。華促會團隊從三月十二日至十四日每天向約四百名移民提供直接服務。我們也訪問了幾位走線者，探討她們冒著生命危險前往美國的原因。身為移民，我們秉持同理心，聆聽並述說她們的故事。希望從華人的角度講述這些故事，與主流媒體的報導有所不同。這些走線者其實和我們一樣，為了追求更好的生活而勇敢奮鬥，追尋著美國夢！

Since last year, over 24,000 Chinese migrants have made the journey into the US through Mexico. With limited capacity to assist Chinese migrants in-language, humanitarian organizations in San Diego reached out to CAA to request support for the influx of new arrivals. This request led to our second trip to San Diego this March after our initial visit in December 2023. This time, resources are even scarcer due to the closure of the San Diego Migrant Welcome Center, leaving migrants stranded at a remote Transit Center, where reuniting with their families proves to be a daunting challenge. From March 12 to 14, our CAA team provided direct assistance to approximately 400 migrants each day. We also spoke to several Chinese migrants, delving into their motivations for undertaking perilous journeys to the US, even at the risk of their own lives. As immigrants ourselves, we listen to their stories with empathy, aiming to offer a deeper understanding beyond the mainstream media narrative. Discover the dreams and aspirations that drive these courageous individuals, as they strive for a better life and chase the American dream, just like many of us.
