Intro: " I see the foot prints left on the sand from people walking through an unknown desert. I can see no more than a few feet in front of me, only illuminated by the moonlight. As we cross through the brush in the southern part of the United States, I know that we are close to where we need to be but far away from our actual destination. As we finished this track of the journey, indicating us what to do The Coyote lets us know we will be taking time to rest. I dont know what time it is, but I know it's early in the morning. I am accompanied by my grandfather, my brother and couple dozen other travelers. Immigrants in search of a better life. A clear future, somthing promised but nothing certain... 'The American Dream' The year is 1999, I am 6 years old and at this moment I know that I am nobody, other than just another person wanting to cross. I am just a 'wetback' an illegal immigrant."
