Roberto “Pollo” Contreras, the mayor of San Pedro Sula, argues remittances are blood money. Emigration from Honduras means leaving behind siblings, children, and other family members—many of whom end up joining gangs.
San Pedro Sula has been struggling with a serious challenge: its youth are leaving for the United States or Spain. Contreras argues this exodus is primarily due to the government's failure to enable economic opportunities.
