HERMOSILLO, Sonora (GH)
More than 600 migrants, mostly Central Americans, arrived in Sonora aboard "La Bestia", who have been traveling for almost a month to their destination in Baja California, where some will look for work and others will get asylum in the United States.

The train known as "the Beast" arrived around noon yesterday to this city with citizens mainly from Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Guatemala, who for about a month began the journey in caravan.

The migrants indicated that the trip has been difficult, but they hope to arrive in Tijuana in five days to seek humanitarian asylum in the United States and others plan to do the procedures before the National Migration Institute to work in Baja California or in the fields and industry of Sonora. .

Today the arrival of about 200 people, women with their minor children, is expected from Guadalajara.

HAVE FAMILIES OF EL SALVADOR

Driven out and at gunpoint from their house, the Carrillo Vega family left their country, El Salvador, in search of stability rather than economic, security.

A few weeks ago a criminal gang murdered the oldest son, aged 16, for not having agreed to be recruited by a gang.
The gang members evicted the family from their house, with only what they were wearing, with the money they had in the bag.
"We had to leave El Salvador, we had to leave to stay alive, because if we did not leave they would kill us all," said Evelyn Vega.

They do not look for the American dream, they only look for a safe place to settle down and provide a future for the children.
