If his future weren't on the line, Cal State Fullerton student Carlos Reyes says, he wouldn't be flying to Mexico. Not with swine flu loose and having killed nearly 150 people there.
Nothing short of becoming a legal resident -- and eventually, an American citizen -- could compel him to go right now. On Monday, Reyes went to the campus health center and asked if there were any shots he could take to protect himself. There aren't. So today, Reyes, 27, will step onto a plane at LAX armed with surgical masks, sanitizers and two boxes of hand wipes that his even more anxious parents bought for him.
