The migrants who packed into a tractor-trailer and were abandoned in Texas were people seeking a better life. Children hoping to earn enough to support their parents; and young adults who had hoped college would lead to success.
LAS VEGAS, Honduras — Children set out hoping to earn enough to support their siblings and parents. Young adults who sacrificed to attend college thinking it would lead to success left their country disillusioned. A man already working in the U.S. who returned to visit his wife and children decided to take a cousin on his return to the U.S.
Each put their lives in the hands of smugglers. News of the trailer full of bodies struck horror in cities and villages accustomed to watching their young people leave, trying to flee poverty or violence in Central America and Mexico. So when a relative of Andino Caballero’s living in the United States offered to help him and his younger brother, 18-year-old Fernando José Redondo Caballero, finance the trip north, they were ready.
When they left Las Vegas on June 4, Caballero accompanied them to Guatemala. From there, the young trio was smuggled across Guatemala and then Mexico in the back of semitrailers. Caballero was able to confirm their deaths Tuesday after sending their details and photos to San Antonio. Tzucubal is an Indigenous Quiche community of about 1,500 people in the mountains nearly 100 miles northwest of the capital, where most live by subsistence farming.
A single mother of two, she said Melvin “wanted to study in the United States, then work and after build my house.” She received a voice message from her son Monday saying they were leaving. She has erased it because she couldn’t stand to listen to it anymore. The smuggler charged $6,000, almost half of which they had paid. Now Tulul was only thinking about getting his son’s body back and hoping the government would cover the cost.
