Carrizalillo resident Concha Perez, first interviewed by Harris News Service in 2000, obtained a tourist visa to spend a few weeks visiting family in Salina in 2004. Migration has benefitted her family, she said, pointing out new appliances and a truck outside her home. She has a son in Salina and another who just returned after living there undocumented for four years. "It's very dangerous to go as mojados (wetbacks)," she said of illegal border crossings. "So many are now staying here." Beyond the Borders- Photo 1 photo by Tom Dorsey, The Salina Journal - Harris News Service All contents © Copyright The Harris News Service
