JULY 29, 2000. CIUDAD HIDALGO, CHIAPAS, MEXICO. "Out of Central America" A raft owner carries his float out of the Suchiate River as a load of boys from Honduras grounds itself on the riverbank in the background. I made the unlawful crossing with them from the Guatemala side of the river and scrambled up the slope. The 4 migrants are framed at the very moment they became illegal immigrants in Mexico. From here to the U.S. border they'll likely become victims of corrupt policemen, evil gangsters and the freight train called The Beast - it's the most dangerous migratory route on the continent.
