    When I read the article I thought of how the evidence played such a big role in the case of Enrique. Even though the Mexican police did all they can to destroy all of the evidence FBI agents were able to use limited evidence to bring Enrique’s killers to justice. The MFJP tried to destroy the obvious evidence but it wasn’t enough because they were found out. This article was about when the FBI forensic team went to Mexico to…

    Gregorio Cortez was born on a ranch on June 22, 1875 between Reynosa and Matamoros on the Mexican side of the river. He then relocated to Manor, Texas and a couple of years later he began working in a farm in Karnes and Gonzales counties.

    In the book Enrique's Journey a young man named Enrique travels to the united states to find his mother but he’s not the only one there are many other kids like Enrique who go to the united states to find their mothers.

I agree with the topic because the people who take the trip do for their family the people who take the trip do it because they have to not because they want to. One example of someone making the trip would be if a mother needed money for her children to eat and to get an education she might consider taking the trip to provide a better life for them.The…
