I Enjoyed "American Dirt"

[Hortensis]

3. A VERY good read, and most would find it very informative.

When we lived in SoCal, had friends (Mexican/Mexican American and not) who lived on both sides of the border, and visited northern/Baja Mexico often, no one imagined the takeover of the entire wonderful nation by organized crime. There already, and we learned later already accelerating, but no more foreseeable by ordinary people than the takeover of Germany by the Nazis before it was happening. Or that the migration north, always dangerous, would become the vicious criminal industry described in many accounts, including American Dirt.
