Abstract:

Many immigrants who come to the US from Mexico return after being unable to find opportunities to work or during the winter when farm work is scarce. The Autobuses Adame bus line is often used to help immigrants return as the bus goes straight to the border and is not stopped by customs agents. However, the physical and emotional toll of the journey is difficult for many passengers.
