“They stand out, and not just because they’re Asians in a migration flow made up mostly of people from Latin America. They also appear more affluent than others and more uncomfortable with the desert conditions, particularly when night falls and it’s time to brave the cold.”
“The migrants are part of a growing number of the Chinese middle class on the run from an economic slowdown. They include entrepreneurs who saw business evaporate in the downturn, middle-aged fathers laid-off from China’s collapsing real-estate sector and young software engineers eager to make it in Silicon Valley.”
