The Trump administration is hoping to reduce the number of asylum seekers at its borders by requiring that they seek asylum first in a third country, like Guatemala. But investigative reporter and author Sonia Nazario (@SLNazario) says until the U.S. addresses the corruption and violence on the ground in countries like Honduras, residents will continue to come. Here & Now's Robin Young talks with Nazario about her disturbing New York Times op-ed "Pay or Die" which chronicles the systemic corruption in Honduras, from the President, to the police, to the educational system, to the hospitals.
