It's to the best of our knowledge from PRX.

The U.S. is doing everything it can to stop migrants entering the country illegally, but in the process, are we dehumanizing them?

People don't think that people like myself are full of human beings. They call us illegal. It's for a reason.

You know, you broke the law,

you are morally inferior to me. Nearly 250 million migrants are trying to cross borders that are

policed and guarded. But maybe the very idea of national borders no longer makes sense.

How can you tell someone, because of the spot of land that you were born on,

or because of the mother you came from or whatever, you have less of a right to human dignity,

to free movement and happiness than someone else, just by virtue of the fact that you were born

on a poor spot of land and I was born on a rich spot of land? I'm Anne Strange Champson. This

hour, what's missing from the debate over immigration? It's to the best of our knowledge. I'm Anne Strange Champs.

Immigration has become such a divisive subject, and not only in the U.S.,

that it's getting harder and harder to sort out what's political posturing and what's actual fact.

So maybe it's time to take a step back and talk about how we talk about immigration.

Because while we debate the numbers, everyone who tries to cross a border has their own individual story.

And they are not all the same.

I remember going to the music institute and not knowing and they are not all the same.

I remember going to the Music Institute and not knowing if I will make it back home

because of the mortars and the horror we were experiencing.

... To me, as I was 23, I had a great ambition to be able to find my way out of Syria.

I didn't want to be killed in such a way. I wanted to have a future.

I wanted to come here to be able to help others who are in need in Syria.
