The southern border of Texas is the place where I was raised. A lot of Americans have moved to America to find work or send money home. They don’t make much money, but they pay considerable fees on their transfers. The focus of their efforts isn’t on becoming rich but to support the people back home. Their families are their support as they labor hard every day. This is too costly for them.

To be honest, my dad was a migrant worker. He picked fruits in the fields. Our family was in Mexico and we sent them money. However, the remittance agents ate away at the little money he had so that they could not achieve the American Dream.
