This week on This American Life: The nine-year-old boy who’s like the king of the tent city that sits right across the Mexican border in Matamoros where there are thousands of people with no proper supply of food, water, toilets … People get kidnapped by the cartels. A nurse who works in refugee camps around the world told me this is the worst one she’s ever seen. Refugee camps that we don’t call refugee camps right at our country’s doorstep. That’s this week on This American Life.
