The lure of El Norte – Like thousands of other ambitious young Mexicans, Eloy Francisco and Rosario Hernandez risked death to pursue a more promising future – (4th in a series)

“In an unpainted cinder-block house on a dark street, a man swats mosquitoes and recounts how his 13-year-old son died chasing the dream of prosperity.

Faustino Francisco Galvan is in his late 30s but looks older. Under a bare hanging light bulb, he speaks of how he might have saved his son, Eloy.

The year before, his 16-year-old nephew, Rosario Hernandez, persuaded Eloy to join him on a dangerous illegal journey to the United States.”*
