	Description:		Episode Notes According to the US Census, the United States is home to more than 45 million immigrants, about 14% of the total US population. And while this country’s origin story is one of immigration, there have almost always been anti-immigration attitudes, deep misconceptions about the immigration process, and biases about who is worthy of belonging. On today’s show I’m joined by Alejandra Oliva, author of Rivermouth: A Chronicle of Language, Faith, and Migration. We’ll talk about experience of immigration and interpreting at the US-Mexico border and at an asylum application clinic. Alejandra Oliva is an essayist, embroiderer and translator. Her book, Rivermouth: A Chronicle of Language, Faith and Migration, received a Whiting Nonfiction Grant. In Spring 2022, Alejandra was the Yale Whitney Humanities Center Franke Visiting Fellow. She holds a master’s degree from Harvard’s Divinity School.
