List the three quotes that you are going to use from your research:

1) Families crossing the border illegally will be subject to curfews and the head of household will have to wear an ankle monitoring bracelet.

2) Upon taking office, the Trump administration

slowed refugee case processing and decreased admissions from 11 “high-risk” countries for a time, later

requiring additional screening.

3) Rationalized compassion and the tactics of control it generates transforms care into a “calculated act” (Campos-Delgado and Cˆot´e-Boucher, 2022: 3; Fassin, 2018).

This is important because humanitarian policies can be used to counter accusations of human rights violations and justify the violence towards migrants at borders, their genealogy being inextricably linked with the emergence of restrictive enforcement strategies in border spaces (Williams, 2016).

1)     Violence and Persecution

Javier and his parents along with others fled Central America due to rampant gang violence, death threats, and governmental persecution.

2)     Exploitation and Human Rights Abuses

The memoir exposes the exploitation and human rights violations that many face during their treacherous journeys through Mexico. These include being robbed, kidnapped for ransom, sexually assaulted, and enduring inhumane conditions in detention centers.

3)     Immigration Policies and Asylum Seekers

Solito highlights the harsh realities faced by asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants in the United States. These realities include the complex immigration system, detention, and the constant fear of deportation, even after reaching safety in the US.

4)     Poverty and Lack of Opportunities

Many of the immigrants fled their home countries due to extreme poverty, lack of economic opportunities, and the desire for a better life.

By giving voice to these young refugees, Solito shines a light on the human cost of immigration policies, gang violence, and the systemic injustices that force children to undertake perilous journeys in search of safety and opportunity.
