Just about daily, an immigrant rattles the gate of Edith Martinez's humble home alongside the railroad tracks near Cordoba's rail terminal. Her home's about the size of a garage in the United States, but she keeps it neat and tidy. She wonders at the wealth she enjoys in Mexico.

"They come by here looking for clothing, food or shoes," said Martinez, who often provides a quick meal or snack.

"We do it from our heart," she explained. "It makes me so sad to see them, when you see all that we have here in Mexico."
