The paint on those rims do not match the rest of the car. Too nice.

Also hope you don’t get a flat tire.

Dust Bowl migrants. They would have run into the Bum Blockade set up at the CA AZ border by Los Angeles PD. https://www.legendsofamerica.com/ca-bumblockade/

Why didn't California build a wall along its southern border?

While it is true that everyone was suffering in the 30's, there were still people, like today, who were willing to try and help the destitute. People who would hire transients for the day to do some kind of manual labor. Farm houses that housed kind people were marked so that other transients would know where to go. A lesson for today and the future.

Californians didn’t want to look like fools.

This is all really sad. Back in the 30's my father was lucky and had a good job. On weekends he built wooden boats in his garage for extra money and his enjoyment. Often a well dressed man would come to him for food. My mother would always give them something to eat.
