Immigrants in Search of a Dream

Many immigrants travel and relocate various times, all in search of a better life and better opportunities through which they can see their families grow in a good place.  For the most part, immigrants work near the border and earn a low wage through long workdays under the sun in the summer and cold conditions throughout the winter.  These people have to be in the pedestrian border line at around twelve in the morning and wait for a bus which takes them up to the fields at around three-thirty in the morning.
