JONATAN, his wife SARA and their son JOSE MIGUEL from Honduras experienced many hardships on their USA odyssey. Endured a frigid river crossing, walked and hitchhiked through Mexico. 'We suffered and were hungry. No one told us the risks.' says Jonathan. They made a spontaneous decision to cross the U.S./Mexico border with others to be detained. Seen crossing by a photojournalist who said they looked quite sad, possibly realizing their chances of gaining asylum were slim and hopes for a future in America would most likely result in deportation to the country they spent so many months fleeing.
