A student's experience along the Mexican-American border

by George Sanchez FOGHORN STAFF

"Ven a Ver" translated from Spanish means "come and see." Doing just that for Spring break, eight fellow students, two staff members and I went to Tijuana, Mexico for five days and ex­ perienced the reality of the only border where the first world meets the third world. We saw men and women who traveled through Central America and Mexico to take a shot at the American dream, only to find that the dream could not be realized. The Ven a Ver pro­ gram was a part of the University Ministry's Al­ ternative Spring break program, which in­ cluded Habitat for Hu­ <3* **gk a ^ hall ^W^ bu manity trips to Bay /^a'Ws 5.Woj cut, 1,15 View-Hunter's Point •udtncx. and Guatemala, as well as a five-day trip to the Tenderloin. Michael Collier, a Resident Minister in Phelan Hall, led the group through the Ven a Ver experi­ ence, emphasizing the need to immerse ourselves in the experience. The group stayed in Casa de Migrante, or "house ofthe migrant," a four-story home in Tijuana established in 1987 by the Scabinie order of priests as a refuge for migrants. Living with the men of Casa de Migrante for a short time, the group slowly heard their stories. Some had left their homes in El e,rOSS^ S htenOrCXliZirvOKX)I; ) KiO,rCXr\TAftkvvhooiecS ) Salvador and Honduras to find a better life in Mexico and, eventu­ ally, in the United States. Some needed a place to stay in Tijuana CVOSSirvCl while they worked and saved enough money to eventually rejoin their families who had already made it across the border into the United States. We heard jarring stories of men who had been in America for years, that were deported for not hav­ ing proper identification. After question­ ing and processing by police, they had been loaded in the back of a van and dropped off at the border of Mexico, regardless of what country they came from. The second night of our experience, while I was helping in the kitchen, one of the men pulled pictures from his wallet and showed me the faces of his three chil­ dren living in Pasadena, a city next to my home town. All he wanted to do was get back to his children, work and provide for them. Brooks Oswald, Michael Collier and Deborah Luna, of M.O.D.E.L, heard the story of a man who had been living in the Mission district, only to be deported on Market Street when he was asked for identification and had none. A Kurcvl^epicko, AVKJCCVK-AK«ICCV»V We also met with officials of the United States Border Patrol at their southern sector office in San Diego. Taking the group along the United Fc\vk.irv&^D^Op.

the border, one which was once part of a landing strip used in the Gulf War, the Border Patrol uti­ lizes infrared scanners, heat sen­ sors, helicopters and horse patrols as well as the threatening terrain to deter people from crossing as a part of Operation: Gatekeeper.

A section of the wall was a 3€>r. mural by an American art­ ist recognizing all the mi­ grants who had been killed trying to cross. Next to the mural were the names of victims and a tally of deaths. Roses were strewn upon the wall in memory ofthe dead. Our trip along the border took us all the way to the beach that night as we found the wall extending a few hundred feet into the ocean. Painted upon the wall, once again, was a tally of the deaths of migrants who once tried to cross. This time, attached to the names were ages and nationalities. The ages ranged from one to seventy. Deborah Luna pointed out how her surname as well as that of another student and myself were on the mural. As we drove back along the border that night, the sight of human beings con­ stantly climbing the wall to get a view of what was against them became ingrained in our heads. The last night ofour trip, a panel discussion was held be­ tween the USF group and sev­ eral migrants who had been staying at Casa de Migrante. Emotions ran high as one by one, they told their stories. Some of the men we talked to were as young as the students sit­ ting across from them. They told us about the poverty, the politi­ cal unrest, and the chaos, as well as the families and loved ones that they had left behind. We heard about the conditions of work within the"maquiladoras," Ameri­ can owned factories that paid their employees less than $ 10 a day. We A KUITCV) Ih CKlCCXrvO ?(Xvk- $0*v Diec^O. heard how the Border Patrol officials beat them when they were caught and immediately deported. With an un­ easy look in his eyes, one of the men told us he was going to cross that night. As the trip came to a close, we gath­ ered at the San Diego airport, ready to go back to the high-speed, tension-filled world. Before we boarded our plane, we were left with one last sight that we'd never forget. Before our eyes, an official ofthe U.S. Border Patrol had cornered a Hispanic couple. After much interrogation and intimidation, the Border Patrol official asked the couple for identification. While the husband had two forms of ID, his wife did not. She simply handed over her car keys to her husband and was then taken to a Border Patrol van and shipped off. After witnessing a couple torn apart, watching the Border Patrol escort her to their van, one assumes she was dropped off at the bor­ der between the United States and Mexico, like so many before her. Our experience in Tiujana was intense, to say the least. For some of us, it was the first time we had seen a reality far different from the golden gates of USF. For others, it was a painful reminder of what friends and family had once experienced. It was hard to see how our own country was so persistent in making these people feel that they are not wanted in the United States. Yet despite Operation: Gatekeeper, despite the hundreds of deaths that have been in vain, these men saw something golden in our country. Jack Kerouac wrote "All the Indians along the road want some­ thing from us. We wouldn't be on the road if we had it." The people we met during Spring Break weren't Indians, but they were still looking for something that they believed we had.

B1IA STEAKLEY A soft spoken and demure Sofia Coppola, dressed in a flimsy green sweater and cropped jeans, entered the hotel room of the Prescott Hotel in downtown San Francisco and curled her petite body up in her designated chair. By her unassertive voice and casual manner, no one would guess she directed the "Virgin Suicides," the media darling of the San Francisco Independent Film Festival. "It's a little bit scary cause you never know how it's going to go. We finished it for Cannes last year, so it's been a while and my friends are keep asking if my movie is ever going to come out," Coppola told the Foghorn. "But I'm excited because (San Francisco) is home turf and I get to have my hometown screening." I The "Virgin Suicides" is based on Jeffrey Eugenides novel by the same name. The story is set IH suburban America in the 1970s. The Lisbon household consists of Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon and their five dreamy but ill-fated daughters, Cecilia(Hanna Hall), Lux(Kirsten Dunst), Bonnie(Chelse Swain), Mary(A.J.Cook) and Terese(Leslie Hayman). The girls' mystery unfolds to tell a tale of love, fantasy, repression and death. The neighborhood boys investigate the dark secrets of the Lisbon sisters and illustrate the life-altering secrets of American adolescence. First time director, Coppola has tried out various realms of the film world from designing costumes for "Life with Zoe" to acting in her father, Francis Ford Coppola's "God Father rn." However, the beauty of Eugenides novel and his love for the Lisbon girls inspired Coppola to venture into the art of directing. "I just thought it was beautifully written and it seemed really accurate about being a teenager and all the really epic feehngs of first love, obsession and the melancholy of it," said Coppola. "There aren't many things that I've read or seen that understand really being a teenager or that I relate to. I though that Jeffery Eugenides really understood." The more academic movie go-er who opts to read the novel before they see the movie may notice a slight change in point-of-view. Eugenides takes the boys' point-of-view, while Coppola takes on the point-of-view of the Lisbon sisters. "I heard him say in an interview that he was glad a girl did it because I think he got accused of being a misogynist having this violent act happen to these girls. He always thought that he loved the girls," she said. "I like that he was writing from the boys point-of-view but he also had empathy for the girls and sort of knew about their inner world but from a far." The film definitely takes on a girly nature in every aspect from the colors, to the dreamy cinematography to the personalities of the Lisbon sisters. Special effects woven into the sound track, such as the twinkle when the beloved football star Trip Fontaine(Josh Hartnett) smiles, and camera shots that x-ray Lux's dress to show Trip's name written on her underwear give the film it's loveable and reminescent tone. All the stereotypical high school figures are present in the film. There's the preeminent football star of the town and most sought after guy in high school, Trip Fontaine, who praises peach schapps as the alcohol of choice to get girls drunk. Of course he's madly in love with the beautiful and bewitching, Lux Lisbon, who holds the high school boys hearts captive and barely gives them a smile in return. Then there are the neighborhood boys who are waiting for puberty to knock on their doors and are only allowed to worship Lux and her sisters through the lense of a telescope. Although Coppola related to the frustrations and challenges of adolesence present in the film, she admitted that heavy issues such as suicide were not visible at her own high school. "I remember having career day or such and the counselors were always around but you'd never want to go talk to the counselor, and you always knew felt like you knew more than the principal for sure. I don't remember a suicide at school at all, but there was that (awkwardness) with touchy issues." Due to the universal nature of issues explored in "Virgin Suicides," Coppola decided to keep the spirit of the 70s in the background and not use campy costumes or make reference to political leaders of the era. "It could have taken place anywhere," she said. "I wanted the '70s thing to be in the background so that it had a more timeless effect. That's why there's not a reference to Nixon or anything. From the moment the doctor in the hospital looks down at Cecilia and says, "what are you doing here, honey? You don't*even know how bad life gets," you know that the five sisters are going to prove wrong anyone who agrees. "Virgin Suicides" is a unique film in that it has a definite message and a heart. Coppola still doesn't know why the girls took their own fives, but she sees them as tragic figures that could no longer handle the very real problems of being a teenager. For anyone who's ever gone through the trials and tribulations of adolescence, for those who are in the process now and for those on the verge of it; this movie acknowledges the hardships of growing up and makes the poignant message that no one is alone in this battle.
