Migrant Farm Workers

• Many families travel from Mexico into the
  United States to escape poverty and work in
  fields hoping for better lives.
• Families find work picking crops in the fields,
  which begins the cycle of moving from camp to
  camp, following the harvest.
• Many children of the farm workers often work in
  the fields before and after school, and work hard
  to learn
• to speak English.
