I think it's sad that El Salvador is 5th in the world for numbers of would-be migrants, only behind such places as Haiti, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, and the Congo. Unlike these other countries, El Salvador is relatively politically stable and much better off economically, yet the American Dream is still so infectious here, which results in broken families and drains small towns of their talent.
