a relative border

So, My 13 year old brother has this best friend named Chris. His father is not a US citizen, but the rest of this family is. They have lived in Holland, Mi for Chris's entire life. Back in October his father went to Lansing to renew his visa and was deported on the spot. So over Christmas break, his family packed up their lives here and moved to Mexico. They moved to a border town so Chris could still go to school in the US. So this 13 year old boy crosses the US-Mexico border everyday to go to school. I have a gut feeling that they moved to Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. I remember asking Chris before he left and am sure that the city he mentioned had two words and one of them was Nuevo. I think that it will be interesting to hear his families story and their feelings about borders, especilly the one that forced their family to move from their own country.
