Undocumented Immigrants: Faces Of The Displaced

IXTEPEC, MEXICO - AUGUST 05: Salvadorian immigrant Francisco, 45, rests for a few days at the Hermanos en el Camino immigrant shelter on August 5, 2013 in Ixtepec, Mexico. A 20 year undocumented resident of Los Angeles, where he worked as a mover and has a family, he was deported by U.S. immigration authorities to El Salvador last year. Two weeks ago he fell off a freight train while headed back towards the U.S. border and broke his leg. Thousands of Central American migrants ride atop the trains, known as 'la bestia', or the beast, during their long and perilous journey through Mexico. Some of the immigrants are robbed and assaulted by gangs who control the train tops, while others fall asleep and tumble down, losing limbs or perishing under the wheels of the trains. Only a fraction of the immigrants who start the journey in Central America will traverse Mexico completely unscathed - and all this before illegally entering the United States and facing the considerable U.S. border security apparatus designed to track, detain and deport them.
