Israel Vail
Israel Vail, a 53-year-old resident of Cajolá, Guatemala, relies entirely on the remittances sent by his three children who work in the United States without documentation. The financial support from his children has been crucial in sustaining his family, funding both their home and a small food shop. Vail has expressed deep concern over proposed tax measures on remittances by U.S. Republicans, warning that such policies could devastate communities like his that depend on these funds for survival.
