In May 2000, we went through the desert with only one thought : to get to the U.S. and earn a few bucks there . But on the fourth day of the trip we realized that we were lost. We were left without food and water , and, feeling the approach of death , began to pray to the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe that we would not have died like dogs , away from our beautiful and beloved Mexico. After reading the Lord's Prayer , we went to bed . We were rescued by a local who drove us to Nogales . We had no money, but survived. Blessed be , the Blessed Virgin . And all Mexicans I mean, think carefully before you go across the border , because there is nothing more beautiful than our Mexico. Two chilangos *- mehikantsa tell you .
*Chilangos - Demonym is slang for residents of Mexico City .
