Migrants from Central America wait for a free meal of rice, beans and carrots at the San Juan Diego shelter in Tultitlan, Mexico, one stop on a journey that they hope will end with an illegal crossing into the U.S. Before that, they face a gantlet of life-or-death risks, including extortion, kidnapping, rape and killing by crooked police and criminal gangs.

When one comes, they will run with the train until they can grab onto something and swing up onto one of the moving railcars. The men face dangers more perilous than hopping onto a moving train; abductions of more than 11,300 migrants, mostly likely by Mexico's violent drug gangs, were reported in a six-month period in 2010.
