Thousands of Mexicans leave their homes each morning to become a pillar of one of most unusual and depressed labor markets in the United States. California's Imperial Valley consistently registers the nation's highest unemployment rate - 26.4 percent in January - yet it looks south of the border to fill many of its jobs because locals shun $9-an-hour jobs picking crops. Mexicans enter the country legally each morning and return home each night. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull)
