Francisco Castañeda, one of the survivors, told the media:  “It is something sad, but just imagine.  People won’t stop trying to reach the U.S., because it’s supposed to provide a better life.  Don’t think things are easy in our country.”

This comes after a 36-year-old father from El Salvador and his 7-year-old son drowned in the Suchiate River as they attempted to cross into Mexico from Guatemala.
