Enriques Journey Post 1

Eriques journey made me wonder how many people cross into the united states illegally and what percentage of those people come from central American countries. The story tells tales of people getting injured, beaten, raped, robbed, etc. Yet people still crave to brave this journey to reach a new place that could be better for them. So I wanted to find what percentage of immigrants actually come from central america. Because the route that these immigrants use is a trecherous one and I'm sure that other immigrants from other countries could find routes into the country that prove to be less treacherous. Yet still people from centeral america continue to persist at getting in. 2008 roughly around 11 million people were illegal immigrants that entered the country that year (Wikipedia). 57% were Mexican and 21% were latin american (Wikipedia).  That is the majority of the immigration that comes into the U.S. The majority of the immigrants come from central america regardless of the high risk of life and all the treacherous feats that they need to concur to get all the way to the U.S. Personally I dont think I would go through all the things that could happen immigrating to the U.S. Regardless of the Danger Central americans continue to be the number one source of immigrants to the U.S.
