Immigration

Mexican migrants, including women and young children, ride in the back of a Grupos Beta truck after being found wandering in the desert with no food or water near the Mexican city of Nogales. Grupos Beta is a Mexican joint federal, state and municipally funded government organization whose role is to protect migrants from bandits, injury, illness or other perils while trying to enter the USA by walking across the desert for 3-4 days. As many as 2000 migrants a day, most from Mexico, cross the border illegally into the USA by going around, over, and through the fence between the two countries. Referred to as illegal aliens by some in the USA. Economic hardship drives many Mexicans, and other Central Americans, to risk their lives for a chance at a job in the United States.
