"Why can’t we live that dream in our own country, without moving far away from our families? Are we scared to invest in our own land? We have so many resources out there waiting for us to develop and take advantage of them, but we do not do it."
By José Reyes Murillo
The four largest groups of illegal immigrants from Central American countries were Mexicans (6.7 million), El Salvador (530,000), Guatemala (480,000), and Honduras (320,000), according to the Department of homeland Security report.
For many decades, live in the United States has been a dream for many immigrants from all over the world. The reason they came to America is to seek a better economic opportunities and support families in home country.
The Honduras began sending immigrants to the United States in the 1990s, during the turmoil of independence from Spain and founding the republic of Honduras. Many Hondurans are migrant farm labors; the total population is difficult to measure because many of them are illegal residents in United States. The reason Hondurans want live in America is to help their families and escape political turmoil in Honduras. Many of them usually send a large part of their income back home to support their poor families.
Five Honduras immigrants lying under a Honduran flag have been holding a hunger strike in front of the White House in 1998. They said they won’t eat until the American government stops deporting illegal immigrants back to Honduras. (By Pamela Constable, Washington post staff writer.)
That movie in class about them traveling ontop of trains really changed my perpective on the immgration issue. I can't hate them for tyring to make something out of their life, we are all humans and deserve equal oppurtunities and they struggle just to survive and make it here, there not taking anything from americans, but bringing determination to a lazy greedy country. Ofcourse people arent goign to like them, but fuck them, If i had nothing i hope i could go as hard as they do to make their lives better
