Mural at Las Americas

This mural was created by teens in the Juvenile Probation System under the direction of Jesus Alvarado. Las Americas now boasts a wonderful piece of art in the great tradition of Chicano muralists. Las Americas is an Immigrant Advocacy Center at 1500 E. Yandell Dr. It is a homegrown, non-profit dedicated to serving the legal needs of low income immigrants, including refugees and battered women. Las Americas’ clients are mostly, but not only, from Mexico. The El Paso port-of-entry sees the second highest number of people crossing into the United States by land, second only to San Diego. El Paso is also an important corridor for illegal crossings. Immigrants from all around the world often end up in El Paso through roundabout smuggling ways and Las Americas staff have helped clients from countries as far as Burma and Cameroon.
