The question is incomplete.
It is in reference to "Delfino II: Diez in the Desert".
Diez was crossing the border when they were in the desert at the North of Mexico with a group of immigrants. Diez along with other immigrants had suffered from bitter conditions like heat and severe dehydration. A woman in the group couldn't survive and Diez was almost dead due to dehydration. However, his hopefulness and positive attitude to fight the odds helped him to work on his goals and he survived the adversities. He encouraged the other members of the group not to give up and not get caught so that they reach their destination safely.

Mr. Frank is saying that in order to survive, some sacrifice must be made, and the fighting must be stopped.
