THE PAYCHECK, Calexico

This man holds a $74.08 paycheck, his net earnings for two full days of work. Too tired to cross the border and return home to Mexicali after a day’s work, he sleeps in the railroad yards which double as an end-of-day migrant depot. Some time after midnight, he will go out and begin looking for his next day’s work.
