Letters from the Other Side

Migrants leave their country for multiple reasons. Some of the reasons would be that their country's economy is in a bad state, they just want to move somewhere else, or they want/need to move to another country that has more opportunity for them to make money. In the film that we watched , the husband tried to move to the United States by being smuggled inside a 18 wheeler, but it resulted in the death of him. Illegally crossing the border to the United States is a very dangerous thing to do for immigrants. The father and son that did made it in the U.S thought that it would be easy to find money in the streets, but it was harder than they thought it was.
