The United States is set to overhaul how it handles illegal migrants after a young boy and girl, both from Guatemala, died while in US custody in December.
Their deaths coincided with a spike in the number of young migrant families apprehended at the border. Many of them come from Guatemala.
To find out what is driving young families to the US, the BBC's Patricia Sulbarán went back to the village of one of those children, Felipe Gomez Alonzo.
Of all of Central Americans trying to cross the border to the US, Guatemalans are the ones doing it the most.
There has been a vast increase in the number of women, children and families from Guatemala migrating to the US.
Most people from Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, travel in caravans.
The BBC's Patricia Sulbarán has been to remote Guatemalan indigenous communities where people are using people smugglers to make it to the US

There are so many factors why people of countries like Guatamala think the way they do. These people got very limited options and in the edge of desperation. Sure, don't make kids if you can't afford it, however, in their perception, having kids is a norm. I know it's wrong but let's see it the way they see it. They need to be enlightened that each countries have set of rules and they need to respect it. If other countries can help them, maybe only by then, they'll realize they don't need to sacrifice so much just to get their basic needs. It's a long process, but it's reality

Ramir Enriquez the sad thing is these people don’t seem to be respectful of the lands they are born in. They seem to be surrounded by a beautiful country and they are able to grow food but they are not satisfied. In the US we have people living off grid and then you have Guatemalans running away from what could be a wonderful life. Instead they are chasing money and dreams. Once in the rat race you are a slave and it’s hard to escape.

This is insane, it is not anti immigration policy. It is anti illegal immigration policy. A country must be allowed to control who comes across its borders. I have no issue with allowing as many legal immigrants that there is jobs to fill. The US allows the most legal immigrants of any other country in the world yet we are falsely portrayed as bad guys when we say you cannot enter illegally. I feel bad for the people that want to enter and cannot. But pure emotion without any use of reason is foolish and wrong.

And to be a child its even worse then one would want. So when you speak ill of the dead and for what others do to have a better life. Remember you are blessed to be where you are & have what YOU have. Not many people in this world have such chances in life. So while you live you're life eating and sleeping as comfortable as you are. There are many that don't have that one single chance. And in a US nation that have rights as FREEDOM to live & do freely As other countries all over in the world just simply don't have and NEVER WILL.

So. people are living in poverty and an only want to succeed in life. They want a decent jobs and a good community to live in. So why don't their countries provide this? Seems like rather than looking at the horrific aftermath of young children dying while trying to make a gargantuan trek across vast and dangerous lands, maybe we should look at what the initial cause for the lack of these previously mentioned issues are. Why do they not have a good job? Why do they not have good healthcare? Why do they not have a good educational system? And rather than blame a country (U.S) for protecting its sovereign territory (which nearly every other country does). Let's work to fix the root cause of all of this. Then maybe, we wont see these kinds of stories. But I guess drugs and corrupt governments are far to lucrative.
