Karen Barrento:尽管前往美国的旅程充满危险和不确定性,并且我知道特朗普政府对移民的态度,但我仍然选择带着我的两个女儿前往美国,因为我相信在那里她们能够获得更好的教育机会,拥有一个更好的未来。即使美国梦不再像以前那样容易实现,但对我们来说,美国仍然代表着更好的生活。我愿意承受旅途中的痛苦和屈辱,为了我的孩子,我必须坚持下去。 一位不愿透露姓名的移民:我们这些移民,即使没有明确的目标,也必须坚持希望和信念,继续前进。我们知道前方充满挑战,但我们相信,只要坚持下去,我们的努力就不会白费。 Carlos Enriquez:我不得不离开洪都拉斯,因为那里的黑帮猖獗,他们烧毁了我的房子,杀害了我的儿子,还想要杀害我。墨西哥虽然充满歧视和危险,我甚至在乘火车时被火车碾压过,失去了部分脚趾,但我别无选择。我不想留在墨西哥,也不想死在洪都拉斯,我只能冒着生命危险,继续前往美国,寻求一个安全的住所。 Yalitza Campos:我曾经是一名幼儿园老师,在委内瑞拉每月收入不到30美元。丈夫去世后,为了给我的儿子Brian创造更好的未来,我带着他踏上了前往美国的旅程。即使我们曾经被遣返回墨西哥南部,我也没有放弃。我相信,在美国,Brian能够成为一名企业家,拥有更好的生活。上帝会给我们力量,让我们克服一切困难。 Brian:我四岁的儿子在委内瑞拉没有收到生日礼物,这让我非常难过。我要去美国工作,照顾我的母亲,并且确保我的儿子以后能收到生日礼物。我不会休息,直到我越过边境,到达美国。
