*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
Migrants on the move: With immigration still a hot-button issue in the US again, we talk to writer Ruben Martinez who's documented border crossing stories.
We also meet a Honduran migrant worker who's been deported from both the US and Mexico while crossing illegally - and he's still determined to return to the US to see the two daughters he left behind there. And writer and musician Ruben Martinez talks to Jonathan about the complex realities of crossing the border while listening to a simulation from central Mexico which mimics what it's like to cross into the US.
Workers of the field, unite!: Contributor Andrew Stelzer presents a story about a coalition of farm workers based in Immokalee, Florida - many of them undocumented migrants - who've taken on Big Food corporations and modern-day slave operations and won.

We could be living in a small town and be shot by a man who hears God's voice telling him to do it. Producer Dheera Sujan draws unsettling parallels between sharks and serial killers.
