And I saw an angel pass by.
:11:07
An angel?
:11:08
Yes.
:11:12
How beautiful.
:11:15
Tonight we celebrate.
:11:33
Then came the day
everything changed...

:11:35
When my mother didn't come home
from the market.

:11:55
It was the time of
the Great Depression.

:11:58
I guess some politicians
:12:00
decided that the Mexicanos were
responsible for the whole thing.

:12:05
I mean, they were taking up
a lot of jobs.

:12:07
There's been a mistake!
:12:08
Jobs that were needed for what
they called " real" Americans.

:12:11
I have to get home
to my children!

:12:15
So La Migra made
some big sweeps

:12:18
through the barrio, and they
rounded up everyone they could.

:12:23
- Move along, lady!
- No! I live here!

:12:26
No! I belong here!
:12:32
It didn't matter if you were
a citizen. If you looked

:12:35
Mexicano, you were picked up
and shipped out.

:12:39
She'd just been out shopping.
She wasn't allowed to come home.

:12:43
My father was never told.
:12:47
She was all alone
and she was pregnant.

:12:50
All these things really happened.
:12:52
The year was 1933.
:12:55
Lock up! Back!
Okay, roll her out!
