It\u2019s Easter Sunday and he is waiting for a miracle; he went to Mexico for his father\u2019s funeral and can\u2019t get back.<\/p>\n<p>There are two fences where the border meets the beach, it is forbidden to go between. However, for four hours on weekend afternoons an extra border patrol agent is deployed to the area, designated Friendship Park. People on both sides of the border flock to this location, border patrol agents do not demand proof of citizenship, empathetic to the fact that this is the only time some undocumented immigrants get to visit their families. Here on March 30 Pastor John performed communion and lead bilingual prayers for Martin.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor John spoke with me about Martin:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe couldn\u2019t resist the temptation to go back to the funeral,\u201d Pastor John said. \u201cEvery time he\u2019s gone back it\u2019s getting more and more difficult to regain entry so he\u2019s now been stuck in Tijuana since Jan. 4.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Martin moved from the Mexican state Nuevo Leon to San Diego in 1978 at the age of 19 where he found work in construction. A couple of years later he was convicted for his involvement in a bar fight.<\/p>\n<p>Now, trapped in Mexico away from his family, these weekends at Friendship Park are some of the only times Martin can see his wife. He is the breadwinner of his family, his wife and three children are U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20202\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20202\" style=\"width: 440px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-20202 \" style=\"margin: 8px;\" alt=\"El grupo Amigos de Friendship Park tiene la esperanza de que los recortes presupuestarios del gobierno federal no afecten al parque.

Martin\u2019s wife is epileptic and without her husband\u2019s assistance, has had to file for welfare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is that conviction which has disqualified him\u2026 [from] the present time from regularizing his status.\u201d said Pastor John. \u201cNormally with marriage to a U.S. citizen he would be able to become documented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was 30 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was young and stupid,\u201d he told Pastor John. \u201cI am now a very different man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite his reform, current immigration law prevents Martin from regularizing his status. He was deported in 2008 and hired a coyote to help him re-enter America illegally, spending 2 days walking through the mountains as he had done 20 years before.<\/p>\n<p>When asked how Martin feels about immigration reform, Pastor John said: \u201c[Martin has] indicated to me that he\u2019s optimistic that the reform would enable him to, if not become a U.S. citizen, be able to regularize his status.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Activist groups like Border Encuentro help cultivate cross national relations through work with immigrants, undocumented and regularized, on both sides of the border to plan events and projects, like the bi-national garden at Friendship Park.<\/p>\n<p>Also in attendance was Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels, an activist group that leaves water and warm clothes in the desert for travelers and advocates on the behalf of immigrants traveling through the harsh desert.<\/p>\n<p>According to Morones: \u201cIf you\u2019re at a certain socio-economic level like Martin is\u2014like Pedro, like Francisco, like the 10,000 migrants that have died ever since that wall was put up \u2014even if they have money to put down for the visa they\u2019re not going to qualify so why would they apply, they\u2019ll just risk their lives in the desert.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>To learn more about Martin and Friendship Park visit Pastor John\u2019s blog <a href=\"http:\/\/johnfanestil.blogspot.com\">johnfanestil.blogspot.com<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/friendshippark.org\">friendshippark.org<\/a>.
