Poem
Underage Immigrant Crisis 2 The problem keeps getting bigger everyday. It seems to me that it is everyone's problem. There are a lot of horror stories that are told by the kids that do make it here. Some never make it and their parents don't know what happened to them. A couple from Dallas paid a coyote $ 7.000 for one daughter and then another one to bring them here. They have not seen them yet. Other kids say that they go hungry for days until some of the people throw them food when they are on top of the train called ( La Bestia ) meaning ( The Beast ) They call it that because a lot of people have been killed, falling off, or trying to get on it. Sometimes they get to a place in Mexico that is run by a priest and there they get food and can stay a couple of days, than continue on their journey. This run by donations, but they are running out of food. They just had a meeting with the president of Honduras and he said that these kids should not go back, that the United States should help. What can we do? Mexico said that because of two derailments that happened in one week on ( La Bestia ) with more than 1.000 passengers - now no immigrants will be allowed in that train. The president is now asking Congress for $ 3 billion to combat this problem. I don't know if it will work, but I think that if we all pitch in a dollar, or whatever we can - it would help a lot... 07/12/2014 By Lucilla M.carrillo Note: I Just think that this concerns us all. Have you got any Ideas? Kids are kids, no matter where they come from.
