30 Del Mar

30 Del Mar Camp, north of San Diego
Indigenous Mixtec farm workers from the Mexican state of Oaxaca live in makeshift shelters in a camp on a hillside in Del Mar, just north of San Diego. At the bottom of the ravine below the camp, Sofia Perea and her sister Natividad, recent arrivals in the camp from the labor camps of Baja California, say they have been unable to find work because contractors won't hire women.
