For this post we were told to find something in the news, or on the internet, anything really, that we felt connected to Celia's story. After looking on numerous news sites and finding nothing but people criticizing immigration and the government and news' side of things, i found the site shown above. This site allowed you to read into the lives of people who have immigrated illegally and to hear there stories on there struggles and why they felt the need to do it.
Illegal immigration has become quite the problem all over the world. I understand both sides of the story and how both side feel about illegal immigration, and i do have my own opinion on it.
More to the point of this post, these stories aloud me to get a better feeling of how Celia felt when illegally immigrating, as well as how she felt on trusting a coyote. I am still, and will always be confused as to why she chose to trust a coyote, a complete stranger, with something so dangerous. I do believe that Celia felt as though she didn't have a choice when she went with the coyote but i also think that she could have chosen a safer, less deadly way to travel.
In the end i believe that Celia was in the middle of such a terrible life she was willing to do anything to get out of the situation. Sadly that involved her using a Coyote. As well, she new people who had used coyotes and didn't seem to see a problem with it in the moment.
