Central Americans, ‘Scared of What’s Happening’ in U.S., Stay Put
CHOLOMA, Honduras — His bags were packed, and the smuggler was ready. If all went well, Eswin Josué Fuentes figured he and his 10-year-old daughter would slip into the United States within days.

Then, the night before he planned to leave, he had a phone conversation with a Honduran friend living illegally in New York. Under President Trump, the friend warned, the United States was no longer a place for undocumented migrants.

Shaken, Mr. Fuentes abruptly ditched his plans in May and decided to stay here in Honduras, despite its unrelenting violence and poverty. He even passed up the $12,000 in smuggler fees that his sister in the United States had lined up for the journey.

“I got scared of what’s happening there,” Mr. Fuentes said.............................

So they are having second thoughts about breaking the law. Sounds appropriate to me.

My wife is still reporting that hispanic use of the local health department is down by over 70% since Trump has taken office. They are scared ICE will be waiting on them when they come in for services. Health departments all over the country are the main source of prenatal care for illegals.

there's always the alleys.....that's how it worked before abortion became legal....

I have zero sympathy....

it either gets fixed now, or kiss your kids arse and the usd goodbye.....

then it really gets fonzies....but we'll be dead, eh?

it's disgusting how both sides of the aisle have developed the worst possible scenario as this once great country moves forward.....

nobody wants to talk about that shite.....the masses only enjoy 'knee jerkin ker dunkin'

I lost a lot of sympathy the day a drunk Guatemalan totaled my parked truck and was caught hiding in the shrubbery.

For such a poor country it must not be hard to get food....

Americans aren't the only ones getting fat and lazy. Below is a picture from the article and while it's hard to tell from the small picture...at real size every person in that picture but two are well overweight. Including the kids
