The story of Enrique’s Journey really opened up my eyes to the world around me. Having never heard any stories of this nature from anyone in the Latin community, all I know in regards to the immigration process was what I saw on TV. Television often portrays illegal immigrants from Latin American countries as uneducated and violent criminals that come to the United States in search for basic necessities. It never however looks at the children of immigrant works that are left behind as a result of the journey that their parents make. It also does not show the kind of hardships that Latin American immigrants face while having to deal with the immigration process. Not just the customs and police inceptions at the border, but also the long journey from their small villages in rural Latin America to the United States border.
Anyone who is interested in the top should take a look at the movie “ Which Way Home”. It is a great documentary film that gives great insight into the issue.
