This article talked about how people from Mexico travel
hours to go and work in the U.S. at farms. These people that go across the
border to work are usually working in fields. They only get a few hours of
sleep five to six days a week. These people only work though for so many months
though at a time. The people that were interviewed in the article said that the
work was hard but what they dreaded the most was the morning trip to go to
work. People line up at 4:30 in the morning that is considered the morning
rush. Fights break out often because so
many people line up and push and shove to get on the bus first. There is no
security though to control the fights that breakout. Ounce you are in the line
to get on that bus you better stay in the line or you will not have your spot
if you leave. There are vendors there to sell you food and drink. There are
also no bathrooms so the tunnel smells horrible. The wait just to get into the
bus is about a three hour wait. There minimum wage is about 5.07 a day.
