The Circuit by Francisco Jiménez6/5/2023 ![]() They usually live in tents or in small, dilapidated cabins in labor camps. They work hard in the fields but are paid very little. This sets the tone for their lives in California, which is often harsh, even after the family finds work as itinerant laborers. They live in a tent and scrounge around in the woods for food. Their first few weeks in California are harsh, since Papá doesn’t yet have work and barely has any money. Papá decides to move his family to California in search of a better life, and one day, they make the long journey to the United States-Mexico border and manage to slip undetected under the fence. Still, they are part of a warm community and enjoy attending church and spending time with extended family. ![]() The family works very hard but are poor, and they live in a tiny house without electricity or running water. Francisco is a young boy living in a tiny Mexican village with his mother ( Mamá), father ( Papá), older brother Roberto, and little brother Trampita. ![]()
