Homebuilders Juan Rodriguez, from left, Jose Sanchez and Jose Castaneda stand outside Los Paisanos Bus Company after saying goodbye to two friends who are going home to Mexico because there's no work in the Las Vegas Valley. "You come here with so much hope and it's hard to go back with empty hands," Castaneda says, explaining what it's like to get on that bus. But the three say they are weeks away from making the same decision.
