After reading the following quote, what can you infer about the role of Central America in emigration to the United States?

“Central America has been a locus of migration for generations. It is characterized by rural-to-urban and regional migration as well as emigration abroad, particularly to the United States. A relative unknown in hemispheric migration matters until recent decades, Central America transformed from a minor to a major player during a decade of armed conflicts in the 1980s.

In short, Central America is a crossroads of many migratory streams.”
