1) Response: How do you think he felt when she had to sneak around the metal gates to the other side of the border. Why?
1) My Response: I think that he would feel scared and not secured. I think that because if I was put in that position, I would be scared of the guards watching out for people trying to sneak across the metal gates. I also think that he was not secured and unsafe because if someone caught him someone would ask him where she was from and she would of have to say Colton, California. I would hate to lie. I also think that he would be unsecured because he is not supposed to sneak across the border. If he got caught he could of have been sent to his hometown. Also it feels kind of awkward doing something that your not supposed to do. Its like walking into someones house without permission.
2) Response: Do you think her and her family should of crossed the border or stay in their homeland in El Rancho Blanco? Why?
My Response: I think that they should of crossed the border. They seemed so happy living in California. They had a school so they could have a great education. They had a lot of family time and did not have to spend a lot of time working. On the week days they had great and fun times and school and on the weekends they helped the mom and their dad work in the fields. I also think they should of crossed the border because they finally got to stay and settle in one place. His family finally did not have to move to Frenso at the end of every summer. It was great. But I also think that they should of not crossed the border to California because sooner or later they would be caught and they did get caught bu the Immigration Patrol. But I cannot believe it took the Immigration Patrol ten years to figure out.
3) Optional Response: Because they got caught by the Immigration Patrol do you think that there going to stay where there old hometown was or do you think that there going to come to California LEGALLY and have enough money to live there? Why?
3) My Response: I don't think that they are going to come back to California legally because as his dad said they don't have enough money. The only reason they might come back to California legally is if they his whole family worked really hard to gain a lot of money and come back to there new homeland in California. I thought it was really sad seeing them get caught by the Immigration Patrol because his family was having such a great time over in California. It is so sad to hear that that was taken away from them because they did not pass the border legally.

1. I think she felt like she was duing something bad because shis duing something bad.
2. I think they should have crossed because their trying to find the rest of their family
1. I agree with you with you about him feeling scared and not to save or sure about sneaking around the metal gates to the other side of the border because I think it would be really scary to do something like that.
2. I agree with you I think they should off had crossed that border because they had a better life, but at the same time I think they should off had done all that papers that they had to do, so that they would be in California with out any worrieds even do it took a long time for the border patrol to find out about it.
3.I think that it would take a very long time for them to gain all of the money, but they'll reach that goal sometime. and also until then they would have to stay in their hometown. And they would have to work for a very long time to gain that much money.
