For them back then, immigration and crossing the border illegally wasn't really a big deal back then. My dad told me stories about how when he was a little kid, he used to play a game of how far he can go after jumping the border. This was a game because unlike today, back then they were less strict and aggressive with immigrants (legal or illegal). So if they catch you they'd just take you back and you will not receive any punishment for it.

Some of the main obstacles that stood in the way is not having a passport or papers to cross the border legally. Also finding how to get there and what to do or where to start once they arrived in the US.

My parents were the first generation of their families to come to the US. My mom came here in-spite of her parents and to live a better life here. She came here with her sister's passport/ID and she did not look like her at all, but the guard at the border still let her through since she was still young. My dad was promised by some friends that they'll be together once they come to the US, but they ditched him once they arrived. He has crossed the border so many times, for his job (?). He also came here to get a better life and job.
