CAMPESINAS - 3:15 A.M., Calexico

Each morning, as early as 2:00 A.M., these women travel from Mexicali to the Calexico Port of Entry. They wait to board work buses which will transport them as far as 75 miles north for their work in the cantaloupe fields of the Imperial Valley. Women comprise about 20% of the farm worker labor force.
