NEW YORK-When Bruno Martinez decided to leave his small community in Mexico and head to the United States crossing the border wasn't that hard. It was 1992 and he was 17. "There were two lanes at the checkpoint," Martinez recalled, "one for trucks and one for cars. It was really early in the morning. We simply crossed in between the two lanes with jackets over our heads. The guards were attending to people."
When he made the crossing in 2008 it was much more of a challenge.
