ALWAYS RUNNING: JOURNEY TO THE AMERICAN DREAM
A new American community is stretching beyond its traditional borders. Latinos are now the largest minority here and tens of thousands more attempt to immigrate each year, but the American dream became more difficult in 2006. Immigrants’ lives are increasingly tied to our own by politics and economics in every corner of America. As the heated national debate on immigration persists, increased attention to homeland security has tightened the U.S. border. Migrants looking for a way out of the economic depression in their own countries risk much on the dangerous trip north. The lure for the American Dream is so strong that many will try again and again after failing.
Hernan Enriquez, 25, of Honduras left home eight days ago in search of a better life in the U.S. He is traveling alone on top of the train cars.
