Cubulco, Guatemala. Asolada por el arrepentimiento, Rigoberta Vásquez aguarda en el poblado indígena de Cubulco la repatriación de su hijo Carlos, el quinto menor migrante de Guatemala muerto mientras estaba bajo vigilancia de la patrulla fronteriza estadounidense.

“¿Por qué no le dije a mi hijo que no se fuera?”, se pregunta la mujer en su vivienda en la aldea San José El Rodeo, en las montañas del norte de Guatemala, dos días después de enterarse del trágico final del menor.
