How and Why did your family come to the United States?

My Father and Mother came to the United States for a better life. They came to earn dollars and hopefully leave in a year after working. They came illegally through the border.

Being illegal in a country where you are clearly an outcast, the first thing you must do is watch out for la migra (border patrol).

Jobs were hard to get because of the lack of documents and my parents only finished elementary.
