most of them are good christian catholics who just want a better life, but unfortunantly a large amount of them owe money to gangs and are forced into protecting and helping the gangs out of fear of retaliation if they don't.  when you live in a shelter controlled by violent killers your not gonna tell the police nothing and your gonna keep your head down and try to help them to protect yourself and your children.  they also come from a country that is extremely corrupted and fucked up, so trusting the police is an alien concept to them.  seeking help from the government is not alien, but not having to pay bribes to do it is strange to them.
