Welcome To Humane Borders
Humane Borders, motivated by faith, offers humanitarian assistance to those in need through more than 70 emergency water stations on and near the U.S.-Mexican border.
"They will neither hunger nor thirst, nor will the desert heat or the sun beat upon them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and lead them beside springs of water."
-- Isaiah 49:10

Migrant-Centered Immigration Reform Proposals
Our new plan calls for: A phased-in legalization period in which undocumented persons achieve legal compliance; a new visa category that is based on social science analysis of the migration; a new visa compliance incentive that has an added benefit of providing financial resources to federal law enforcement; recognizing that the goals of national security, an orderly migration, a secure workforce, human rights, and international cooperation are important and not incompatible; and nstitutionalizing a migration that can be controlled as labor conditions certify. Download the proposal (MS Word format).

- "Crossing Arizona," by Joseph Mathew and Dan DeVivo, examines the Arizona-Mexican border crossing crisis through the eyes of those directly affected by it.
- "Dying to Live" is a profound look at the human face of the immigrant. It explores who these people are, why they leave their homes and what they face in their journey.
