"I’m scared to death," Wood said, chuckling. He doesn’t know what his audience wants to hear but said: ["I’m going to tell them what I want.

[A family struggles with the possible deportation of its father even as Texas hungers for more workers like him]( Maximiliano Trejo was still sleeping in his home at dawn this summer when his sons Max and Marcos were startled awake by the sound of fists pounding on the front door.

Today, he’s out on an immigration bond, fighting deportation with the help of an attorney.
