HIDING FROM THE U.S. BORDER PATROL IN AN air-conditioning duct for nine and a half hours, Jorge Mendez couldn't even come down to urinate. As agents passed below, he had to keep from making the slightest noise.
"I thought about my wife and my family," he remembers. "I had filled out my application to get all of them documents. I thought of all of my hopes and dreams ending there. From the moment I saw the migra, I thought, 'Everything is over.'"
