Hermosillo.- More than 100 children from babies aged four months to children up to 12 years old, are crowded with their parents in the hostel Full Life Heart Content of Hermosillo, Sonora.

“They threw us like a garbage bag,” said migrant families from Central American countries in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
Dozens of families were deported for migration from the United States, between Monday 30 and Tuesday 31 August.
After more than fifteen days of crossing from Central America to Matamoros, Tamaulipas, they entered the US state of Texas, where they spent only two days while their data was taken from them, then sent by plane to Arizona and they were deported to Nogueres, Sonora.
At the Vida Plena Cor Content hostel, Areli Alvarado, staring at her one-year-old baby, commented softly, “I couldn’t be in my country, I had threats and that’s why I decide to come, I can’t come back “.
In Houston, the father of his son is waiting for him to support him to enter the United States legally.
In her country, the 26-year-old woman sold omelettes, bread, quesadillas, and whatever she could to help herself subsist and save for her journey; “Everything is a wasted effort, now I’m going to be killed again, I’m going to go back to that,” he said.
