He sat at his kitchen table in rural Georgia across from his father-in-law, Sky Atkins, the family patriarch. Jaime, 33, hadn’t seen his own father since he was 10 months old, when he left Mexico in a car seat bound for the United States. It was Sky, 45, who had stood by Jaime at his wedding, helped him move into his first house and stayed at the hospital overnight when one of Jaime’s children was sick with pneumonia.

“I’m going to be straight with you,” he told Jaime. “I voted for Trump. I believe in a lot of what he says.” \
“I figured as much,” Jaime said. “You and just about everyone else around here.” 
“It’s about protecting our rights as a sovereign country,” Sky said. “We need to shut down the infiltration on the border. It's not about you.” 
“It is about me,” Jaime said. “That’s the thing I don’t understand.”
