What I noticed most about, "In an Arizona Town, Main Street is a Border Crossing" was how hard Mexican immigrants have to work. The town of San Luis, Arizona is a station for Mexicans to enter and leave the U.S. from Mexico. San Luis has a population of 20,000 people, mostly Mexican immigrants. Mexicans work tediously on bean farms. They work approximately 14-16 hours a day. On the other side of the border, which is a four-lane road, is the Mexican town of San Luis Rio Colorado. It has a population of 150,000. The man who was interviewed was a Mexican-American named Joel Silva. He talked about his experience from crossing the border and talked about being arrested and losing everything. During his time in prison, he found time to read the Bible. He talked about his job in the bean farm and how long he works everyday. He loves his native Mexico and even though he's an American citizen, he prefers to live in Mexico. I learned how hard it is for somebody to leave their country and come to the U.S. for a better life.
