Abstract
Two families tried to cross the Mexico-U.S. border. One made it. One didn’t. Mardoqueo wanted his family to have its own home. Its own land. But he felt forced to split up his young family and cross into America to achieve security and happiness. He tried once and didn’t make it. He feels compelled to try again despite his wife’s objections. Abel had to make that same choice in Mexico. But he made it. He brought his wife and daughters with him. He achieved a prosperity he sought, but he still dreams of crossing the border again. Back home.
