This experimental poetry video is based on Robin Davidson's poem, "Migrations," which reframes the issue of "illegal immigration" by comparing the seasonal migration of monarch butterflies across the Mexico/Texas border with humans attempting to make their way on foot across the Rio Grande. While the "border problem" is complex, we should remember that, except for the original Indigenous peoples who were there before everyone else, all of us here in the U.S. are either migrants or the descendants of migrants.
