00:43The debate over immigration has been a hot topic in recent media coverage.
00:48Build that wall! Build that wall!
00:51Tens of thousands of migrants have been forced to flee El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras
00:57as violence between gangs warring over drug routes has led to some of the highest homicide rates in the world.
01:06Desperate to save their lives and escape, they travel by train, by foot, and by makeshift rafts.
01:14Moms from Central America hand-carrying their children across the border.
01:20Contrary to what dominates the airwaves, they are not sneaking across the border.
01:24They turn themselves into Border Patrol upon arrival.
01:29In 2016 alone, over 68,000 families have crossed the border seeking asylum.
01:35This is the story of one woman's journey to reunite with her mother in the U.S.
01:41This is Behind the Headlines.
02:09So we are here at Sacred Heart Church.
02:12We are here at Sacred Heart Church.
02:13arrived after their long journey.
02:19This all started back in 2014
02:21when we were seeing hundreds of them
02:24being dropped off at the bus station.
02:25We had a massive wave of families,
02:29children, women, moms coming into our country,
02:33and most of them unaccompanied by themselves.
02:37They're human beings, they're people, and they're children,
02:40and they need care and love and attention.
02:43They're very sad,
02:45because they're little.
02:47But they're going to be fine,
02:48they're going to help me.
02:50Yes?
02:50Yes.
02:51Yes.
02:53They're going to be calm and calm.
02:55In El Salvador,
02:57they take away all the money,
02:59and if they don't give them,
03:00they're going to kill them
03:02or they're going to kill them.
03:06Diariamente,
03:07they kill two or three people,
03:09and the women,
03:11they're gonna kill them.
03:13But they're not so idy.
03:17They're going to kill them,
03:20they're going to kill them,
03:21so we never kill them.
03:23They're going to kill them.
03:24I've been killed 20 hours.
03:28I have to go on a bus.
03:54They're going to go before a judge, and they're strangers in this country, very difficult
04:00to make sure that their story is heard correctly if they don't have legal representation.
04:05If they don't find that help, it's very possible that they're going to be deported back to
04:10their country.
04:12They're not safe there.
04:13They run the risk of being kidnapped, of being recruited, of being raped.
04:20It's very dangerous for the children, and the children is why they're here.
04:35I had to wait.
04:38How long did you wait to wait?
04:40Until a surgeon, as an emigrant, didn't want to take care of him.
04:47The doctor told me that if he'd wait more, he could get worse.
04:54He could get worse.
04:57It's what they told you there.
04:59But there are two surgeries that they have to do.
05:01Ten faith that there are going to be many people who will want to help you and help you with
05:09your daughter, so that this angel is someone in life and has a future here.
05:14Yeah.
05:18I love you.
05:22What's your name?
05:23Yeah.
05:27How is your dog?
05:28What's your dog?
05:29Yeah.
05:34Good.
05:37Good.
05:41Good.
05:41Good.
05:41Good.
05:42Good.
05:43Good.
05:45And today I spoke to you with the consulat, and he said that you don't have to be afraid,
05:50the lady from the consulat.
05:52They don't have to be afraid, they don't have to talk the truth about what they are living in El
05:55Salvador.
05:57He has to ask a asylum, because he can talk to me on Friday.
06:04Well, first of all, I'm the only one who can talk to me.
06:19I'm already desperate to see my mom.
06:25For me, my mom means my life, because she has always been with me.
06:30My mom practically abandoned us, and she was always fighting for us.
06:39I feel nervous.
06:41Since she was here for 10 years, despite all the criticism she had,
06:45when she came back from us, because she would have more children,
06:49she always showed us that we were her life, and she came to fight for us.
06:59Abuelo, where are you?
07:02You're going to ask your grandmother's bonbons.
07:04What are you going to say?
07:06Abuelita, give me a bonbon.
07:09I'm already going to sleep in the air.
07:11I feel very proud of my mom.
07:20What are you doing?
07:30How beautiful is she, then?
07:32What's it going to say?
07:34I am leaving the love of my mom.
07:41желating to get to you too?
07:50I'm going to come back here, mom.
07:53What do you want?
07:54What's it going to say?
07:54What I want to say to your mom?
07:56What kind of money are you doing?
07:57What'd they say to you?
07:57to my daughter.
07:59I could hug her after so many years.
08:05The dreams I have for my daughter
08:08are first to take care of her surgery
08:12so that she can be normal.
08:15My dream is to see her running,
08:18to see her happy,
08:20without her suffering.
08:22I dream of seeing her studying
08:24and helping her to do her work.
08:27I don't know,
08:29that the world recognizes her
08:30for what she does.
08:32I want to continue to do
08:35what we can't do in our country.
08:53so I don't know where she feels.
08:53I can't do that.
08:53I do not know what she is doing.
08:54But she can come here.
08:55I do not know what she is doing
