"Crossings: The Dream of the Rich North"





9 of 35

In December 1996, Vinicio and his eldest son, Juan (pictured), returned to Matamoros to bring the entire family into the U.S. They drove their van across the border in Brownsville, Texas late at night, and managed to remain undetected at a second border station as well. After this, they traveled to Florida, where they found seasonal work picking strawberries.
