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.
