In the late 1990’s, my uncle held a construction job alongside several undocumented Mexican immigrants in Southern California. For approximately a year, each worker performed the same tasks on the various construction sites for the same hours each week.

Bonnie Parker was born on October 1, 1910 in Rowena, Texas. She stood 4’11, but fiesty, and weighed only ninety pounds. Her bobbed, auburn hair stood out in the daylight of Texas. She had blue eyes with a fair complexion. A heart throb among young men. Her parents were Henry and Emma Parker. She was the second of the three children her parents had. Bonnie’s father died in 1914, which could have contributed to her crime sprees and behavioral problems according to the F.B.I. Before her father's death, he was a bricklayer in local Rowena. The money he earned from his job was enough to support his family, so they lived comfortably. At the age of sixteen, Bonnie dropped out of school and soon after married a young man named Roy Thornton. Although they were married, their relationship wasn't always romantic and sweet. They both were unhappy and by 1927, Thornton was rarely ever home. Thornton was soon caught with counts of burglary and sent to prison for a sentence of five years, which helped Bonnie find her soulmate, Clyde Barrow.
