Irvin’s first trip was a big one: An illegal border crossing from his home in Mexico to reunite with his beloved father in New York City.
On today’s episode, Irvin describes the harrowing journey he took as a teenager and whether he would let his own children take the same risks.
I see my, my dad and I just cry and hug him. And, and we get fast to the car because we can, we can not really give a big hug because, it was an intersection that just drop you off and get in the car in. Bye bye. But when we get home, my dad has an apartment in Bay Ridge and, I was happy because he, you know, he don't see me and my brother for, for nine years.
So we just talking, we talk about how it was the experience also. And I just sleep with him all night and, you know, yeah, like a baby. I wanna hug my dad.
