"A recent study of California’s farm hands revealed that very few migrants of Indigenous origin are covered by medical insurance; six of every 10 Indigenous migrant women have not visited a doctor in the United States. Moreover, as one Indigenous farmworker said, the sick from his community are more likely to be willing to cross back into Mexico—despite the danger and cost—than face uncertainty and a perceived threat of deportation in California clinics and hospitals."
