Most migrants were from El Salvador, Guatemala, and
Honduras, but recently people have been crossing the Mexican Border illegally
into the United States because Mexicans was looking for work. Mexico’s had the
worst problem in the world for crime, drugs, and gangs until the government
cracked down and eased the violence, I think it was a great improvement for the
government and turned Mexico into a better country and less people started
coming into America. The Mexico’s government crackdown has shifted the people
back to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. Gangs now have taken control of
towns, murder and rape is happening, and they force families and businesses to
pay protection money. I think Mexico needs to get a better upper hand on their
people and this situation. Why doesn't Mexico put these people that are committing these crimes in
jail? In the late 1990s, the United States passed a law to force immigrants/non-citizens
to get green cards, but if the committed any crimes they had to be deported. I
do not understand why these people would want to hurt or kill one another or
better yet destroy their own country. Many of them come to the United States as
small children, and were made to go back to their own countries and ended up
banded together in criminal gangs. If they grew up in the United States to have
a better life, why make these people leave if they weren't causing problems
here? Some just clearly want a better life. Gangs are going up to store owners
and demanding payments from them and stealing anything they want while raping,
murdering, or killing them. How could these people be so cruel? That’s not the
worst part about all this, El Salvador children as young as 7 years old are
forced as lookouts or couriers for gangs, and if refused they would kill them. No kid
that young should have to go through this. People have come to believe it was
safer to risk an illegal journey over hundreds of miles than to stay, I agree with these people because they are just looking out for their safety and trying to
find a better life. I mean could you blame them? What has happened to the society
in this world?
