The Line by Ruben Martinez
I enjoyed how Lauren Duensing described the author's accounts of what goes on after dark at the Tijuana border. The underground marketplace where you can find anything from food, drugs alcohol and even sex for the right price. I didn't realize they (the Mexicans at the border towns) were being affected by our economic troubles, but I guess it would makes sense because I'm sure they are very dependant on the US dollar. Even jobs for those who sneak across in the dark to work in the United States and then return to their homes in Mexico would be drastically affected since our unemployment levels are so high.
