Illegal immigration in The House of the Scorpion is done by "coyotes," people who know the way to illegally immigrate from one place to another, like in Celia's case it was from Aztlán to try to cross the border to the US. I think in the modern world there are Coyotes, they lead people from Mexico to the US, and plus there are problems all over the world, and bring people using ships, and other forms of transportation. There are also many forms of border guards/the farm patrol, but in real life we have human rights and other things that prevents them from turning people into weird robot slaves that are called Eejits in the book. In real life you could also face very bad consequences for illegally immigrating to another country, and in this article up here it talks about how there are many people leading others from Mexico and other places into the US, and the people can face heavy fines and long jail time. I think this book can be related to real life really easily and is very connected to real world issues.

I think that in this post you could've included a few of your thoughts about why Celia chose to go with a coyote to America. This post also could've been a bit longer with more thoughts in it. Other than that I liked how you connected the issue in the book to the real world.
