MADDOG69: That sounds like me Granmother's journey to school years ago in rural Irealnd.
All of our childhood we were lectured by a very macho stepfather about how he had to trudge six miles to a lonely schoolhouse through four feet of snow, fill the pot belly stove with wood and then trudge back at nightfall, in the pitch black, and torrent of snow and rain, of course. It wasn't until we were out of the nest that it dawned on us that he had been raised in Ventura, California, across the street from LA public school 14, or whatever. ------ This thread is Archived ------

Yeah. Here the old stories of school journeys sound like Lord of the Rings Trilogy... and yes... barefoot too!

modermen: I heard a radio show yesterday about people from south America who travel to Mexico then Via United states with out a passport.
First of all they have to save up thousands of dollars to pay the courier to get them there to the train.
2nd wait around for a long time to get on the train without being kidnaped or murdered .
3rd survive the train journey by again not being robbed murdered or Kidnaped by the courier you paid money to and held in captivity while waiting for relatives in the U.S to come up with the money, well maybe just maybe they might let you go, also avoid trees on the journey as some people get whacked of the top of the train and get sucked under the train and get killed or limbs amputated.
4th You have made it to the Mexico U.S boarder and now you have to cross the river which looks slow and warm but is in fact freezing and fast and there are police patrols on the other side.
5th you made it across and now you have to walk for miles across the desert if you have enough water and survive not to mention shot or killed or captured.
6th Now go get a job.

There is a step between the 3th and the 4th you missed:
when these people men and women are in mexico they meet a ''coyote''
you pay to him but he doesn't garantise you arrive in one piece to the bordier. most of times women and men keep horrible secrets about torture and rapes. and deaths. this is appart of the risks getting catch by the police ,and if they survive they have to face the poorness and the gangs from those states.

I heard it on the BBC world service and it shocked me, especialy about the girl who fell of the train and got sucked under and had her leg amputated, and the catholic priest who takes the injured in and is also in danger him self by the gangs, crazy.

no one was injured but they told the camera crew, about the dangers of the trains and there was a young couple and their friend, the things they go through is unbelievable, like crossing the river between Mexico and Texas, i watched another similar movie called THE GIRL,------ This thread is Archived ------

As unbelievable as it might sound tons of people from Central, South America and Mexico try to enter USA soil without a passport, looking for the “American Dream”.
Many of them end up their journey into a miserable life, no job, drugs, alcoholism....... and they stay here in Mexico, along cities in the train path.
I do agree with you, they better find a job in their place –as hard as it might be- and stay with their family.
