After Texas Sent Him to Washington, One Migrant Launches a New Life
When Lever Alejos of Venezuela arrived at the southern border penniless in July, he gladly accepted a free bus ride to Washington, D.C., courtesy of the state of Texas. He had no family or friends to receive him, and spent one night in the plaza across from Union Station. He soon settled into a homeless shelter.
“I have nothing,” Alejos, 29, said on his third day in the city, “but I have the will to work and succeed.”
Two months later, Alejos is making between $600 to $700 a week, saving up to buy a used car and planning to move out of the shelter.
“There is so much opportunity here,” he said Thursday, at the end of a day’s work. “You just have to take advantage of it.”
