I always joke about trying to drive into Tegucigalpa. and I would not recommend it to anybody who has not had time to acclimate to the speed and crush of cars in that capital city. but it was a completely different country at the time. We traveled extensively in urban areas in San Pedro Sula and rural areas such as Santa Rosa de Copan. and it was an economically challenged country. For those folks who have claimed that all of these immigrants are simply heading north out of economic desperation. the economic situation has not changed all that much. It is worth looking at the rest of Central America. The surrounding countries. such as Belize and Costa Rica and other countries in Central America. are also seeing refugees from these countries. Nicaragua. which has substantial economic challenges right now. is losing economic immigrants. and those immigrants are not making it to our southern border in any substantial numbers. In fact. less than a year ago. I was in Costa Rica and many Nicaraguans are working in Costa Rica because the economy is better there.
