Ask Me No Questions and Operation: Wetback

In Operation: Wetback there are two main "characters" named Nayo and Milton. They are two friends (from a country called Chinandega) that embark on a journey to cross several borders to get to Canada.
In the first two chapters of this "undocumented documentary" I discovered the two personalities/lives of Nayo and Milton. Nayo worked at a tortilla mill but business was starting to get bad so he decided to travel to Canada to get more money for himself and his family. Milton worked at a car repair shop but money was also tight for him and his family so he decided to travel with his friend Nayo to Canada.
I think that Nayo relates to Aisha (of Ask Me No Questions by Marina Budhos) because they are both strong-willing people but they both also have a weak side. I feel that Milton relates to Nadira (of Ask Me No Questions by Marina Budhos) because they are both very doubting of their decisions, and themselves.
