Illegally crossing into the US through Tijuana is something that a lot of people know about. This is because many people have crossed looking for the famous “American dream” or may know about this through theirl knowledge of “polleros” or “coyotes” (those who smuggle people illegally into the US) who help people cross after being paid.

However, not all people are able to get to the other side of the border, either because of health or because authorities end up catching them, deporting them back to their native country
