My name is Juan, and I am an illegal immigrant. I came to the United States from Mexico when I was 15 years old.

My family was poor, and we lived in a small village in the state of Chiapas. My father was a farmer, and my mother was a homemaker. I had two older brothers and a younger sister.

When I was 10 years old, my father was killed in a car accident. My mother was devastated, and we struggled to make ends meet. I started working odd jobs to help support my family.

When I was 14 years old, I heard about a group of people who were organizing a trip to the United States. They said that they could get me across the border for a fee.

I was hesitant at first, but I knew that I had no future in Mexico. I wanted to help my family, and I believed that I could find a better life in the United States.

I agreed to go with the group, and we set out on foot. We traveled for days, sleeping in the woods and eating whatever we could find.

The journey was difficult and dangerous. We had to cross rivers, climb mountains, and avoid the border patrol.

One night, we were caught by the border patrol. We were taken to a detention center, where we were held for several days.

I was eventually released, and I made my way to Los Angeles. I found a job as a dishwasher in a restaurant.

I have been living in the United States for 10 years now. I have a wife and two children. I am still an illegal immigrant, but I am grateful for the opportunity to live in this country.

I know that my journey was not easy, but I believe that it was worth it. I have a better life in the United States than I could have ever had in Mexico.
