"I last went to Nueva Suyapa in 2003 , to write about another boy, Luis Enrique Motino Pineda, who had grown up there and left to find his mother in the United States." "The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees recently interviewed 404 children who had arrived in the United States from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mexico..." "The United States should also increase to pre-9/11 levels the number of refugees we accept to 90,000 from the current 70,000 per year and, unlike in recent years, actually admit that many."

In the early 2000s, the influx of children from Central America, particularly Honduras, was tied to rampant violence and poverty. Many families were forced to make heartbreaking decisions, sending their children on perilous journeys to seek safety and a better future in the United States. These stories, like that of Luis Enrique Motino Pineda, highlight the resilience and hope amongst those facing dire circumstances. Efforts to adjust refugee admissions can be complicated but are largely rooted in humanitarian priorities. Advocating for increased refugee quotas involves navigating political landscapes and public sentiment. Engaging in community outreach, sharing personal stories, and educating the public about the harsh realities these families face can play a pivotal role in shaping a more welcoming stance for refugees in society.
