Sixto Méndez Goyazo, 14, from Chiapas, has never attended school. He is illiterate, knows nothing of the U.S., nor where he is going to be taken to work after crossing the border at Sásabe. Sixto travels with his 32-year-old uncle Felipe Coyazo, a peasant who lost his livelihood in Chiapas due to uncompetitive Mexican corn prices under NAFTA. Sixto wants to work in U.S. to support his parents. Sásabe, Sonora
