Leaving El Salvador had never been in Alberto’s plans. He and his wife had stable jobs and supportive friends and relatives, and their five children were happy.
But a local gang tried to recruit one of Alberto’s sons as a drug mule and beat him up when he resisted, the family said. A gang leader approached his daughter, then 10 years old, and told her that he was going to make her his girlfriend. Then Alberto and his family received a phone call threatening to kill them if they did not turn over the children for the gang’s use. The corpse of a boy even appeared on the street in front of their house.
The family fled north, taking only what it could carry.
“We can’t just hand them over to the gang,” Alberto said of his children, sitting with his family in a shelter in Tapachula, a small Mexican city near the Guatemalan border. (Like other migrants interviewed, Alberto and his family asked that their last name not be used, fearing their persecutors could find them.)out 39,500 in September.
Gang violence in El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala has conspired with economic desperation to drive an unrelenting exodus of migrants, including entire families, seeking safety in other countries, mainly the United States.

Got wall?
And their gangs are following them right across our border into the U.S. FUBO.
They are not fleeing the gangs, they are bringing them here.
If they come here and settle in an El Sal area, they will find the same thing. MS-13 migrates too.
Of course the gangs are very happy to stay where they are in Central America.\s
Good thing we have Team Trump. Things are going to change now.
And how is Alberto’s problem my problem? Why must I allow him to illegally the value of my vote, increase my taxes for his public assistance needs? Why can’t he just flee to Mexico? They could help him, right?
I thought all of Central America had already moved to Los Angeles.
Only part of the solution. If need be to hell with those countries sovereignty. We need to wipe out those gangs or they’ll find more ways to get here and there will always be a part of our population who sees taking them in as the only humane thing to do.
It will be a interesting test for him.
Head `em up, move `em out.
Keep them dogies moving.
As of January 20th the US is no longer a dumping ground for dangerous 3rd worlders yearning to live free.
So why isn’t Alberto standing his ground and defending his family?
Conveniently-timed emotionally-charged pro-illegal-alien agit-prop by the NYT.
The pussys won’t stay and fight for their own country? Why would we accept illegal betwetting snowflake pussys here?
Let’s help them make their country better and safer. Don’t import their problems here.
I remember they posted this same article when everyone was talking about the surge in Central Americans and Obama just letting them in. That was quite awhile back. They are just reposting old articles now that Trump has been elected.
Funny how the Slimes can find “Alberto” to make their political point, but they can never find anyone to represent the opposite side.
As some one else pointed out, these folks who could not changes the cultures and societies they come from want to come here and change ours.
