This amounted to less than 83 cents an hour. At this point in time. the Government had no reason. cause or purpose to detain these men any longer. Yet they were farmed out to a feedlot operator under the custody of a border patrol official. The legal documents they were given actually freed them to leave the country. They are given little cards. But they probably were unaware of the fact that the border patrol simply wanted to have their papers. The border patrol kept their papers. what they call their papers. or the cards. indicating that they were free. They were released. They were free to go home if it was so demanded.
