Throughout their journey, Cruz and fellow migrants were at the mercy of a smuggling network and cops who expected bribes to let them pass. Only a fraction made it to the other side. https://nyti.ms/2KlwBQL pic.twitter.com/BE2MaQFkVG

LOL! With the median household income in El Salvador being US$660.90/month & he was able to save US$12,000, he's probably a drug dealer fleeing his enemies! B https://en.centralamericadata.com/en/article/home/Household_Income_Up_10_in_El_Salvador …

Most stupid decision ever... With 22 KU$S in Argentina, I put him into work, study and live in his own place. But... of course... this is not America... but cheaper and a good resting point for a 5 years plan to move there in a better situation.
