3 slain Guatemalan men among thousands to gamble on illegal immigration
Tagged: family, Guatemala, GuatemalanPosted on: May 22nd, 2007“Rene Javier Perez’s widow and daughter live in a tiny mud-brick shelter once used for storage. Pieces of corrugated metal jut out from the roof, shading an earthen stove where Miliana Morales cooks tortillas. A house farther up the hill, built before her husband left to work in the United States, is just one of the things Morales and her daughter have lost.
Perez left with the intention of helping his family, but he never paid for his illegal passage to New York 15 years ago, she said.
“They had to sell the house he left me, to pay the debt,” Morales said, referring to Perez’s family.”
