In the 2000s my dad crossed the border by walking from Pachuca to Los Angeles. He took about 8 days to fully cross the border with every 3 hours of rest. Some challenges my dad faced during his journey was the danger the animals could have caused. Another challenge he faced was trying to find hiding spots where he wouldn't get caught by immigration. The reason my dad immigrated here was for a better life and better opportunities.
