And money generated from the track will help refugees secure “representation and guidance.”

Looking forward to the story about the Artists that helps 'Asylum Seekers' understand they can apply at the US Embassy in their Country for it. I'm pretty sure ALL the buildings the Embassy's are in are a LOT Drier than the Rio Grande. And they can keep their Families together...
