The Song
I wrote "On the Borderline" thinking about the struggles of our brothers and sisters living on both sides of the U.S./Mexican border. Though the song is really about all of us - living right where we are - within borders geographic and borders of our own choosing.

"On the Borderline" asks listeners to consider the plight of "the other," whoever and wherever they may be and to think about what it would be like to walk in their shoes. It is my hope, that in some small way this song can help even one heart, one mind (mine included) more fully aspire to increasingly compassionate possibilities there for every one of us. I am grateful to have found this way to connect and offer support through the sharing of my music. I hope that you will download, enjoy and take-to-heart this song and pass it along as yet another way to help raise funds for NIJC while raising consciousness - keeping in mind the dignity of all and our common humanity.

The National Immigrant Justice Center
Heartland Alliance's National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) is dedicated to ensuring human rights protections and access to justice for all immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

With offices in Chicago, Indiana, and Washington, D.C., NIJC provides direct legal services to and advocates for these populations through policy reform, impact litigation, and public education. Since its founding three decades ago, NIJC has been unique in blending individual client advocacy with broad-based systemic change.

Partnering with the legal community and thanks to the support of hundreds of pro bono attorneys from the nation's leading law firms, NIJC has made critical advances in the lives of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. NIJC provides legal services to more than 10,000 individuals each year and maintains a success rate of 90 percent in obtaining asylum for those fleeing persecution in their home countries. NIJC and its pro bono attorneys have been on the vanguard of federal impact litigation and advocacy, setting positive precedents for those seeking human rights protections within our borders.
