Central American Migrants Attempt Arduous Voyage Thru Mexico To U.S.

TENOSIQUE, MEXICO - SEPTEMBER 15: A family of immigrants arrives from Honduras to a shelter for undocumented immigrants on September 15, 2014 in Tenosique, Mexico. The family, including U.S. citizen Gloria Francesca Bucato, 22, her partner, Honduran citizen Louis Felipe and their two children Baylee Bucato, 3, and Luis Bucato, 1, both born in Honduras plans to present themselves to U.S. Border Patrol agents once they manage to cross into the United States. The shelter, called La 72, is run by Fransiscan friars and is the first stop for thousands of Central American immigrants crossing north through Mexico to reach the United States. Many risk riding atop "La Bestia" or The Beast, a freight train which passes through Tenosique, in Mexico's southern state of Tabasco. The number of immigrants making the perilous trek has diminished from a springtime high, due to Mexican and U.S. law enforcement operations to stem the flow. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
