What cross-border connection(s) does this object represent?
My father who immigrated from Colombia in the 1980s has carried this wallet in his back pocket since he arrived in the United States. After 30 years here, my father self-deported in 2019. He gave me his empty wallet to keep, which at one point carried all of the documents that marked his identity in the U.S.
