What is a Hernia? Signs and Symptoms Most people with hernias have a common set of signs and symptoms. Is there a bulge under the skin on your abdomen or in your groin area? A bulge is the most typical sign of a hernia. If you have a bulge under your skin, does it ever disappear? Do you have discomfort or pain when you lift, cough, sneeze, strain, or perform physical activities? Does your discomfort or pain get worse toward the end of the day? There is even a small television set.

But the trailer has no air conditioning or heating. On this day, after a downpour, it smells musty.

Teresa explains, in Mixtec through her brother's translation into Spanish, that in the winter Luisa and Maritza are always ill. On the counter that serves as the kitchen there is no fresh food, only a jar of protein powder.

After their expenses, very little is left over for her husband's blind grandparents in Mexico, for Teresa's diabetic father and above all for their son Erminio, who was the original reason they came. Western Union, a service that remits cash, takes another painful cut whenever they send money home. This is the difference between today's Mexicans and yesterday's Okies, between the Joads and the Vegas although Tom Joad was also on the run from the law. The Okies were poor, disdained and hungry. But they were American and white, often Scottish-Irish.

They could not be deported. This anxiety extends to every aspect of work and life. In the fields, undocumented workers hardly ever protest when contractors or growers abuse them. Merely getting to the fields and back is risky. Undocumented farmworkers have to drive long distances, but they don't have driving licences.

Any brush with the police is dangerous. Felix Vega stays below the speed limit and comes to a complete halt at stop signs. Like many indigenous Mexicans from Oaxaca, the Vegas are short, squat and dark. Last time the cop claimed that Gonzalo's tyre had touched the centre line as he was driving. Local police are not supposed to enforce immigration law, which is a federal matter, but they can impound the cars of drivers without licences, so they took Gonzalo's. The expense set his finances back by years. For undocumented migrants, however, those pleasures are not available, for they might attract attention.

On those Sundays when he is not working, Felix Vega goes to church, then walks with his sons to a public park.

Beyond that, he stays off the streets. He has never been to a cinema.

Nor to a hospital: when family members get sick, they use folk remedies. His sister Teresa, who lives quite a distance away, hardly ever lets her girls play outside. Luisa and Maritza spend almost all of their time in the trailer, on the mattress that completely fills the far end of it and serves as a family bed and playpen. Gonzalo Vega and his wife and daughters—Diana, two, and Esbeide, ten months—live in a single room with one mattress and one chair. He used to let Diana with whom his wife was pregnant during their crossing play outside.

But then the American neighbours, who seem generally hostile, complained about noise and threatened to call the cops.

Are your care needs urgent?

So now Diana stays inside and is told to keep quiet. Gonzalo's younger brothers—the two he brought over the border—live in another town. They spend almost all their time studying, Gonzalo says, because he has told them that the best students might get papers and become legal. He knows that might not be true, he says, but it keeps them out of trouble.

Yet a life without pleasures is not a life without joys. For the Vegas, the children are the joys. Felix's older son, Victor, is trilingual in Mixtec, Spanish and English and has the naughty cheek of a boy who is legal. He goes to a nearby state school. Felix, beaming with pride, worries that its classes are too crowded and its teachers bad, sounding like any middle-class American parent.

But all the Vegas feel hated much of the time. Felix Vega says that the mood has become noticeably more hostile this year, perhaps because a controversial state law in Arizona has legitimised such animosity. That law, parts of which have been suspended by a federal judge, would make illegal immigration a state crime and oblige local police to enforce it.

At a time of high unemployment, many Americans are convinced that these aliens take American jobs.

Is My Dog Dying? Here Are Some Warning Signs and Symptoms

In the following three months 3m people visited takeourjobs. Soon it may come to hands on, taping bitches to light posts. Only 8, people expressed an interest in working in the fields, says Ms Machuca. This was all mine to run across and roll about on and dance along. What do I pack? It could be cold and rainy, could be a tropical paradise. I had better pack everything. I feel it in my bones.

Have I remembered to pack everything? I may need scuba gear, climbing gear, warm clothes or bikini. I think the bikini unlikely but I try to fit it in the case. I lie awake considering all possibilities and trying not to, knowing it futile. I wake early. I hope I have everything packed. I can leave the mack in the case. I wait for the taxi, full of anticipation.

I come-to wearily, conscious of the slight ache in my shoulder. I hold the kettle under the cold tap, one foot on the other on the chilly lino. I watch the sheep from the kitchen window while I wait for the kettle to click off. They are nibbling the hedge.
