In the southern Mexican village of Teticic, almost every family has a son, daughter, brother or father who has left this dry, difficult land to go to the United States. Some prosper, building concrete homes in Teticic. Others can barely support themselves and struggle to send money home. Andres Morales Nava is one of the few whose family has chosen to stay in Mexico.
