This makes the long trip by the Guatemalans understandable, the lack of interest in politics by the main immigrant father is surprising though understandable - he can't do anything about it. On the other hand, if in the past we just placed juveniles with anyone as described, there's an incentive to risk it all and just send the kids for those stuck in poverty without hope. It's complicated and I can sympathize with a lot of ideas about immigration in this particular circumstance - though the companies moving jobs close to the farms in very rural areas and changing the work and not wanting to pay enough for citizens to take the job bears the brunt of the responsibility and in our political system they almost never do.
