29 Lamont Trailer Park
The Curiel family, Mixtec immigrants from Nochixtlan in Oaxaca, Mexico, live in the Lamont Trailer Park. Ricardo was a farm worker, but now works as a pick up carpenter on construction sites in the southern San Joaquin Valley, and makes $12.50/hour, almost twice the wage of most farm workers. The family includes Ricardo, his wife Lidia Cruz, and children Javier, Jose, Ricardo Jr. and Cielo.
