EL SALVADOR. Usulutanr. December 14, 2007. Nicaraguan migrant workers working at a sugar cane field in El Salvador's Oriente region bordering Honduras. Immigrants from other Central American countries, especially Nicaragua and Honduras, arrive to El Salvador seeking what they call "The Salvadorian Dream." For migrant workers from other Central American countries the relative abundance of El Salvador (mainly created by money sent back home from Salvadorian immigrants living in the United States) is, unlike the faraway United States, just a day's bus ride away. People here get paid in dollars -- El Salvador is the only Central American country to have adopted the US currency in 2001. Central American migrant workers find that the dollars earned in El Salvador go much further when they are sent home and converted their local currencies.
