the chance to reunite with family members.

Explanation

A push factor is a condition that makes people leave their home country. Civil war and poverty in parts of Central America and the Caribbean pushed people to seek safety and better opportunities in the United States. Farm jobs and family reunification are reasons that may attract people to the United States, so they are pull factors.
