Salvadorian Dream
This fragment is taken from Joan Manual Serrat’s song: “Tender people escape from this land because is sick, and do not wait tomorrow what it did not give you because there is nothing to do”.
In El Salvador there are many people who abandon their home everyday, searching the opportunities they never found here. They have promised their families incomes to maintain their economy. The farewell is painful but this routine never stops. Salvadorian people are the fourth biggest community in United States, 1.5 million live there. Taking this decision is a risk but the desperation, survival and the well being make the person forgot it. Currently this dispersion has been enlivened by natural disasters, social violence and economic crisis; it seems there is nothing to do, then the unique option is going for United States. Probably this phenomenon will never finish but we have to say that what impel the people take this decision is the inadequate investment for social programs and politicians that the only thing they do is fill their pockets with money. Many people have emigrated searching an opportunity to succeed; the Salvadorian dream is North America because the hope is gone. Escape is the only alternative.

It´s something sad, because every day many peole leave El Salvador and look for another place (USA), of course, looking for a good life. Some of them find it, but others who are not lucky, don´t.
They suffer discrimination a lot, it´s not the same being in your own country that in a foreing one.
This is a big problem that affects every salvadorian family... There are many children who live without parents´love.
Parents think that all is money and so they leave the country to find "a better life" , but children need someone to hold them. they must have all the stuff to live but do they have any love in their hearts? that is the question, that`s why there are many teenagers who have chosen the wrong way in their lifes...
this is our sad real life ........everybody wants something better but when we are looking for that we forget other things that have more importance.......
Sometimes these dreams become in nightmares for our people. When Salvadorians are in another country, they suffer a lot because they are illegal and some people take advantages from these situations to hurt our people who just want a better life for their families
