Reality of ilegal inmigrants

This weekend I helped with a urban mission in Oklahoma city. I was surprised with the number of hispanic families that was present there to receive help. Many of them had around 8 years living in the U.S. however, they did not speak any English at all; they still seemed like they came here yesterday.

A foreign language, different people, different environment, different life, for what? the hope of a better future for their children.

Many of them left their families behind, they want to go back but, they don't have the money and the documents. That's another factor: fear

How do you really live when you do not know how to communicate, how to behave, or how to be free?

You are here, bur your heart is elsewhere, it is with a lonely mom, a lonely son, who you left promising them you will come back...is that possible, who knows... in the meanwhile you just have to work and watch out where you go to not be captured.

Strength my brothers and sisters, but please, if you get tired...come back, come back to the place that saw you born and that is waitng for you...it is going to be hard, but not impossible.
