MIGRATION:
Undocumented Immigrants Won't Be
Home for Christmas
Every year, around two million
Mexican and Central American
immigrants living in the United
States head back to their home
countries for the holidays. But
many millions more cannot even
dream of spending Christmas and
New Year's with their loved
ones, because once they cross
the Rio Grande, they might not
be able to make it back again.
Those who are able to make the
trip south almost always come
”loaded down with gifts and
money, to help meet the many
needs of the people here,” said
Eduardo Quintero, a Catholic
priest and deputy director of
the Casa del Migrante (Immigrant
House) in Guatemala City.
The Casa del Migrante is a
Catholic church-sponsored
non-governmental organisation
devoted to defending the rights
of migrants. more
