After a 3,000-kilometer trip, 16-year-old Jose Luis Boyeduana arrived in the United States.
At the end of 2020, he decided to travel from his home in Ecuador to reunite with his parents living in the U.S. It had been 13 years since he had seen them. Boyeduana had been living with his grandparents in Ecuador since he was three years old.
“Happiness can only be found with your parents,” he said.
Boyeduana crossed in January through Miguel Aleman, an area in Mexico near the US-Mexico border. He said he was held for two months at a federal immigrant holding center in Roma, Texas.

Mexico feels the effect of unaccompanied minors flocking to US border 2 minutes read
By Guadalupe Peñuelas
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Apr 8 (efe-epa).- More than 15,000 unaccompanied minors, most of them from Central America, were intercepted trying to enter the United States during the first two months of this year and youngsters are among the migrants who have ended up at a shelter in this gritty, violent border metropolis.
Mexico’s INM immigration agency said last week that a 4-year-old Honduran boy was found in Reynosa near the banks of the Rio Grande River, which separates Mexico from the US.
He was traveling with nine other people, including three adult women, but none of them was related to him.
