Helping Asylum-Seekers At U.S.-Mexico Border; 'The Bakersfield Sound'

An encampment in Matamoros, Mexico, is a stopping point for asylum-seekers who are waiting for a chance at legal entry into the United States. The conditions at the encampment are poor but a group of U.S. volunteers called Team Brownsville is crossing the border daily to help. Also, Bakersfield, California, has a rich country music history, and a massive new box set documents that legacy. Scott B. Bomar, author of "The Bakersfield Sound," joins us. That and more, in hour two of Here & Now's November 12, 2019, full broadcast.
