“I Was Robbed All the Way Through”: Woman on Her Narrow Escape to the U.S.

A Chinese woman who was caught at the U.S.-Mexico border tells NTD TV about her narrowly escaped journey coming to the United States. “We walked through a rain forest, climbed mountains, taking one step at a time just to get here,” says the woman. “All of my papers were taken, right on the bus on my way here,” she said, “in Mexico, they took about 20,000 RMB ($2,800) worth of stuff. The gift my daughter gave me was robbed of.”
