Migration is a difficult process at any age, difficult to explain and accept for those who see and experience it through the eyes of children.

Under the protection of the Texas National Guard, a girl has crossed the border without family since the weekend.

The youngest is 9 years old and is from Honduras. According to Telemundo, the little girl was “lost as soon as she entered Mexico”.

Its presence was discovered on February 25, 2023 in the La Joya area, La Prensa published.

The minor told National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety officials that when she got lost, she managed to cross the border with two pregnant women, the Telemundo network reported.

What she tells is dramatic for a girl her age: she got lost from her family on the southern border with Mexico

The station The voice of Honduras reported that Texas authorities have contacted the Honduran embassy to identify the minor and arrange for her return to her country.

They added that the child was “alone, homeless, sheltered on the streets of Texas.”

La Joya, the town they refer to, belongs to the county of Hidalgo in the state of Texas and is considered “an active point of migrant crossing”.

Painful cases of migration seen by children

Four years ago, US agents found a three-year-old boy crying in a cornfield on the border with Mexico, with his name and a phone number written on his shoes, US authorities said in mid-April 2019.

In April 2021, a video was released in which a child addresses the Border Patrol and says: “Can you help me? I came with a group and they dumped me”.

Some heartbreaking words that mark lives.

And 5 months ago, a 4-year-old Ecuadorian boy was “abandoned by human traffickers” at the US-Mexico border.

The “coyoteros” abandoned him on a road between El Paso, Texas and Mexican territory, the Border Patrol reported on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022.
