What Happens Back Home:
“Have you ever heard of the leyenda of the dollar? In God We Trust? We believe in that legend. We know it’s dangerous to cross the border, that many Mexicans die, but we put ourselves in God’s hand and trust that we will make it and that we’ll get ahead in life.”
—Saul, Mexican immigrant and former resident of Carrboro.
