Carline and Rose survived the catastrophic natural disasters and followed their parents to Brazil which they left a few months after. Their journey took them to the jungle of South and Central Americas, crossed many countries only to find themselves separated from their parents after a raid in the jungle.
Will they ever get reunited with their parents? Who will take care of them during the rest of the journey to the North? Will they ever make it to the borderland? When and if they do make it, will they arrive at the Tijuana / San Ysidro Port of Entry?"
The immigration policies changed after the November 2016 election. A new president was elected in the USA. How long will the mass of African, Asian, and Latin American migrants be stranded in Tijuana, Mexicali, Tecate, Nogales, and other border towns?

With a new administration on the north, more and more migrants may finally realize that the American dream can be found on the other side of the border.
