US SOUTH BORDER

INTRODUCTION
Guatemala is a small country in Central America. It is located about 3,000
thousand miles from the United States South border. This is the place that God
designed for me to be born, it is known as the " The country of the eternal spring" and
it is absolutely true.
Our infancy was great, we had nothing in terms of toys and material things, but
we were rich in creativity and desire to live and be happy. After school we played with
the one bike one of our friends had and as we grew older we made motorcycles
excursions to the mountains, rivers, volcanoes. Our country was so safe that no one
feared for their lives. Nobody wanted to leave our country, there was no interest in
abandoning this joyous paradise. I heard about the United States because my father
worked for a Transnational American Company and his boss always gave him Children
books, toys and clothes than his kids did not use anymore. That was the time when I
learned about “gringos” and where they came from.
I grew interest in American books because of the full color images in them, but no one
could read these books for me because they were written in the English language.
Fortunately, one day, magically, a bilingual dictionary appeared in one of the shelf's of
our house and I could then translate the books into Spanish. Then my father decided to
immigrate to Washington D.C. because he had cousins there. He traveled there by plane
but only for a of couple months because my mother became sick and was desperate for
him. I Remember one day she was writing a letter for my father, and she asked my
brother and sister to put something for him, and they said “tell my dad we are sad
please come back soon”. When she asked me, I said "tell him to buy me a bike!" she got
mad… At that time, the dollar and quetzal were even one to one even less obviously it
made no sense to immigrate to the United States for money. My mom had to pay ten
cents for each dollar she exchanged.
My mother use to hear planes overhead and cry because of my dad's absence, and
because of that she loss weight and got a nervous system breakdown. Because of this,
she was in bed for several weeks until my father returned home. She was under medical
treatment for a long time and finally, she recovered.
When my father returned home I was 7 years old. I was experiencing some
changes in my behavior as a result of his once-gone state, and it wasn't for the good.
On the day he arrived, I unfortunately was caught in a fight with a fellow student he
was very short but very fast and punched me dozens of times until finally I landed one
left hand and knocked him down. As he was one the ground, I asked him "Do you want
more?" Everybody around me laughed because I really took a beating from him, and to
see myself rise above him was a great moment for me.
Seeing my father at home was a great relief and happiness when I told him about
the incident at school, he decided to train me in boxing. The next days were spent in full
training, learning technique and toughness. With the days going by, one of my father's
friends visited and had offered him a job, and he took it. Because of this, our family
continued united and living graciously until the years of the 80s. This was because
Communists had entered our country in this time of our life's. They plagued our homeland
and created destruction and brutal affliction to all that lived here. Our once wonderful
country lost its eternal spring, and thrust us began a cruel winter where the worth of
life was nothing.
There was a day where I was playing basketball at a local park with my friends
when the unfortunate struck. An army truck had appeared, and soldiers began to pour
out of the back and took my friends for military service. I luckily escaped in the niche
of time in my motorcycle and immediately once I gained distance from them, I gave
notice to each of their families and with this, Their families each made their way to
release their children after being proved students, and having a clean record. As for my
family, they were very concerned for my friends and I's safety. At this time, the
Government started brutal persecution on all youth manifesting some disagree with the
political system. Many students were endangered to be killed. One of them was the
famous singer ¨Ricardo Arjona” who was a schoolmate of my brother and also played
basketball with them.
Communist promoters would enter public areas and greatly enforce their spread
of communism to create pressure on young students to enroll in violent activities against
government institutions.
We was adolescent our hobbies basquetball, hiking forested mountains even visited
discotheques had turned in dangerous places because always some undercover rebel and
also undercover army informant could be infiltrated and a little commentary about
government were sufficient to be abduct ,tortured and murdered
That happens too many of my close friends. Young dreamers that wishing a better world
found cruel death. Even MLK and all Black American community suffer the institutional
terror against their ideals that today everyone recognize as a sane human develop.
Immigration reform could be extreme positive for transform entire American hemisphere
if the Latin-American community initiates our own “Hispanic Spring”
If they didn't take part in their devious goal, they were harassed and violently
conducted in beatings and other misbehaviors. As youth we got forced to do three one of
three options…
A) ENROLL EN THE GUATEMALAN ARMY…and being exposing to be killed by
insurgents but at least we was defending the rich class reluctant to pay fair
salaries like the teachers were in that time pay 80 Quetzals/Month when a lower
army official makes 500 Quetzals plus new car, free fuel quote, groceries and
medical attention. So obviously to keep the outrageous system was more
attractive. These economic disparities make possible to create the conditions for
the armed insurrection.
B) ENROLL IN THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY..Sounds attractive if we are in the
loser part of the society. The leaders offer dramatic changes and opportunities
for education and work. Also total control the production system that has been
like slavery economy forcing labors to work extenuates long hours and barely
survival salaries, similar situation suffered by the Chicago workforce when they
called to general strike demanding 8 hours of work instead 16 they were forced to
do without overtime or social security even not medical care. The leaders were
arrested the first of May of 1886 then judged as traitors and found guilty and
killed by the “justice” (Samuel Fielden,Oscar Neebe, Michael Schaab,George Engel,
Albert Partson, Lily Gonzalez and others who gave their lives for our current work
benefices.
C) IMMIGRATE TO DEVELOPMENT NATIONS. Even were a heart break decision
abandon our love family our home comfort and initiate a dangerous unknown journey
and if we succeed start to adapt a new language, new culture and suffer
discrimination and to learn new life alone. Facing emotional weak down for our love
ones we left behind.
I decide enroll in the Army at 14 years old.
I strongly believe in the Democratic System, for this way is equal and full of
opportunities that offer prosperity. The beliefs and ideas that communists held do not
make sense for me.. Until I was graduated as Agronomist from a military system school
and I were assigned to work at one inaccessible rural area “zone Reina Ixil triangle” were
only by air was possible to arrive. I was witness with my own eyes how miserable was
the life for our indigenes they was being killed like flies for both violent forces National
army and communist invaders. That region was border with Mexico so I could learn was
Cubans involved who bring weapons, training and logistic support. Several times offer me
to get a scholarship in Cuba or Union Soviet. Some friends did and were trained for
terrorist actions when they return got jobs in the National University and to continue
spreading the Marxist doctrine to youth. We as professionals serving the military
government share with the army forces development activities but guerrilla actions
destroy our work blowing out bridges, electric towers and terrorizing rural villages. For
doing my work I had missions of 20 days visiting the communities and be hosted in the
community the villagers did everything for make feel comfortable despite their lacks.
I heard their stories from the first hand and saw awful situations and felt compassion
however nothing could help them exemption abandoning the place and to emigrate before
to get killed.
That was the time we think seriously about move for another safe city. I choose explore
Mexico and then move to United Estates. Also visited Costa Rica and was so surprise
that they did not have guerrilla conflict. Were two differences they had high grade of
education and they don’t have national army. People were so friendly and communicative
may be in excess, in few minutes they make me feel like family. Also I could to observe
so many tourists from United States and European countries. Meantime Nicaragua, El
Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras were engage in terrible civil war confrontation and
auto destruction.
Central American had no option fight against ourselves killing brothers, cousins, even
parents and sons or to emigrate to the nation always has been democratic, prosperous
and plenty of opportunities for every one looking for honest works and freedoms.
Make decision to emigrate is so painful mainly when you leave family, wife, kids, parents
Etc. Also change your customs your communities and then appear in one city where you
don’t know the culture, the language that is not funny at all.
But immigrants have to swallow their tears and transform pain in energy because to
achieve put a foot in this promise land did cost a lot of physical emotional suffering, and
money that always has been borrow from relatives, friends or in the worst case from
criminal organizations that offer money with easy terms than when the lender demand
much more money with extreme voracity and aggressively endanger family or own
immigrant life. That is strong motivation for don’t quit or return botched.
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet friends with different cultures and my sight get
more complete about to be part of the diversity enhance my own culture. I did travels
but always get informed and respecting the country laws. Now is my background for write
this book spread and sharing my experiences giving my opinion and decided to document
this one, with real images and the humans being that were protagonist of this trans-
cultural process that to produce a developed modern society example for the world and in
compliance with Christian principles. Strongly I believe we are the number ONE nation
and we don’t hold problems for long or pretend ignore worse put blind eye on them NO!
We are prosperous because God reward our fair humanitarian actions!
Being happy living poor is 100% possible
Guatemala is beautiful land
Guatemala has the best weather and landscape in the world
The Guatemalans get surprise when discover that prosperity comes in the middle of
desert instead we can’t achieve prosperity living in a green country plenty of natural
resources.
Before 1980 nobody had
interest to emigrate
because we are plenty
of work and peace in
our land.

Cuba sent rebels to in

CONCLUSION
MULTICULTURAL BLENDING
Was my first nice experience when I visited Mexico City share with Mexicans the
culture, music, the food tacos, burritos and traditional beverages. Also romances as
well. Same nice and better was when I appear in California and share with African
Americans White Americans, Asian American, and Hispanic Americans Etc. Etc.
Hispanics be come to share our culture and to adopt African American culture in order to
develop a better community where our families can enjoy friendly. Majority of immigrants
arriving to ghetto areas because is cheaper and a Christian community always takes care
and supports us at all. There two types of immigrants those ones to come poor and those
ones to come with money for invest. I will refer essentially to the first because are the
majority and expect fix the legalization problem.
We are learning that sharing wealth each other and make our communities more friendly
and better quality of life. Of course there are positive and negative customs that we
have to eliminate the negatives through the process in order to grow up. And to make
new better cultural patterns for the next generations
IS THIS PARTICULAR TIME WHEN FRATERNITY AND DIFFERENCES MERGE FOR TO
MAKE BETTER SOCIETY MORE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERY ONE.
Black community has very important celebrations one of them is Martin Luther King birth
day on January, white community also celebrate the thanks giving, Hispanics the Cristobal
Colon discovery of America, five of May, and four of July. So we can to observe that
throughout time life we are learning and blending part of our history, culture and
feelings. I never has been in Georgia, Peru, Philippines, Nigeria Spain, Holland Etc.
however because my friends belong to these countries I get interest in their news and
activities. I like listen jazz our country music and has been fan from Whitney Houston
(rest in peace)
MLK PARADE 2012
His dream just begins to get reality today; is most common see Hispanics and blacks
sharing good time but the way are still too long and irregular. The problem start with
Hispanic cultural roots..
Is it a complex historic process since 500 years ago that keep us a mental slavery
culture in order to live working hard for to produce abundant wealth for our loved kings.
Meantime the entire population has to continue facing poverty and violence.
Youth of Liberty City well know as a dangerous ghetto plagued with drugs and crime,
killing themselves with high rate of assassinates however here in this celebration you see
all the opposite happiness and abundant wish for enjoy the life.
All cultures make enrichment when have opportunity to share everything this is the
reason United States is a powerful nation. All divisions are destructive and put this
leader nation in a vulnerable point unacceptable for our life style.
We are exemplar society inspirited in freedom and respect for diversity at all
There are many ways for enjoy the life without drugs consumption but the decision
depend how has been formed in your infancy how has been your experiences about human
relations and education. Here are these images we can observe how this crowd spends
the time without smoking or violence just relaxing friendly
Black community is a great example of human being of quality they have extraordinary
sense of humor, artistic qualities and compassion sense…they has been holding for
centuries constant hostilities however they still have a dream for better future
The memorial weekend a hip hope celebration that reunite almost half millions of black
young people at South Beach Miami. Is welcome for everybody however few Hispanics of
white join here. I always come and enjoy a lot with them and usually I forget being
Hispanic at all.
