Introduction

            Children that are from Central America are struggling to cross the border because they are not allowed to cross it without their two parents. There are being some case where there is only one of the parents and their child and they still don’t let them pass. There are also some cases where people don’t have enough money give to the cops so that they can let them go free.

                     Main Idea

•       Children from Guatemala, Honduras and other parts of South America can’t cross the border to the United States without a parent's.

•     Most of the children who cross the borders are from central America where escaped from violence and poverty. Most of them are from Honduras where it considered murder capital of the world.

•     The number of the parent heading to the united state is decreasing because of how tough the journey is and how the police are increasing.

•     The children who are held in the US border are treated badly.

•     While thousands of child migrants from Central America have crossed the Rio Grande to U.S. soil, thousands more don’t make it that far. Many end up detained or broke in towns like Reynosa, Mexico.

•     Mexico and Guatemala are making harder for the people who are from central America to flee their country by increasing the number of the police and redouble the efforts to arrest smugglers.

•     The people in Central America don’t care of how hard is it going to flee their county. They will try and try again unless they have something in their countries such as jobs, school, and lack of violence.

 The highly dangerous neighborhood of Honduras

Victoria Córdova and her daughter, Genesis, were deported from the United States and have returned to their dangerous neighborhood in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. She borrowed money from a local gang to be smuggled into the US. She says she cannot afford to repay the debt.
