Fear and Dreaming in the USA

Okay, so about a year ago, I was in Florida, in Fort Myers, and I'm in this trailer park where mostly Latino immigrant agricultural workers live. And I'm hanging out with this woman. She's this older church lady. Her name is Mari. And she says this thing to me about a popular Sunday market in the city. And these days, I think a lot about what she said. ¿Y ahora qué? No hay nadie. Se fueron.

So what now? She asked me. Everyone is gone. On Sunday mornings out here, there used to be cars. And now there's nothing. They call it a ghost town. They're going to turn us into a ghost town. So when I was in Florida in summer of last year, the state had enacted some of the nation's toughest laws targeting people without legal status.

And suddenly this fear had taken hold and people told me they were scared. They were scared to go to the hospital, scared to go to school. And Mari, the reason we are using her first name only is that this totally unassuming church mom, she started working kind of on the fringes of the law. She was helping out some of these immigrants who didn't have legal status.

Yeah, so I was working on a story about the fear in the immigrant communities because of these new Florida laws and policies. And I kept hearing about something called raiteros. Like everywhere I went, there were posters or little business cards offering raites. And raite is a word that comes from ride, like car ride.

Basically, when the new rules targeting immigrants without legal status went into effect in Florida, people started to get scared, especially scared of driving. And so this kind of underground transportation system took off. And I was kind of expecting these drivers to be like these tough trucker type guys, you know, like straight out of central casting with the cutoff denim and the trucker hat.

But instead, I met a lot of church ladies. Now, if you can imagine, like, Like a helmet hair of hairspray and pink lip gloss and blouses with rose patterns. Like your classic tia, your auntie. And one of them was this woman, Mari. She's the one I spoke to in the trailer park. And she'd been driving people in part to make a little extra money.
