Palm Springs Desert Sun: 12 hours in a Calexico doughnut shop: After crossing the border, [farm] workers gather here before sunrise

The first workers to arrive at Donut Avenue tonight are those harvesting corn in Westmorland, 31 miles northwest of Calexico, and Calipatria, 33 miles north. Their shift begins at 2 a.m. Afterwards, they will cross the border and return to Mexicali to sleep, shower, eat and begin the cycle again.
