Omoa (Honduras), May 17 (EFE).- Honduran Héctor Pérez has tried to migrate to the United States eight times, and all eight times he was deported. As a result, he has given up. Other deportees, however, take the route north the same day they set foot back in Honduras with the need to escape misery and in search of the "American dream.""I think this is the last time I'll try," Pérez told EFE after having attempted to reach the US on eight occasions between 2022 and 2024, the last time at the beginning of April. It's a "very tough" situation, but unfortunately "the opportunity has not arisen," perhaps because "it is God's will that we do not achieve our goal."SOUND BITES BY HÉCTOR PÉREZ, HONDURAN MIGRANT; ALEXEI CASTRO, HONDURAN RED CROSS DIRECTOR GENERAL; GABRIELA OVIEDO, RED CROSS ADMINISTRATOR AT THE BELEN CENTRE; AND SANDA ALBERTO, A 29-YEAR-OLD MIGRANT.FOOTAGE OF THE RETURNED MIGRANT CARE CENTER IN OMOA AND BELEN CENTER FOR HONDURAN DEPORTEE FAMILIES.
