Central America
Central America immigrants wait for a chance to board a passing train in Tultitlan, Mexico state on May 17, 2012. More than 200 illegal immigrants have been killed in Mexico in the last 10 months, according to the Casa del Migrante in Saltillo (Coahuila, northern Mexico), which coordinates several shelters for the homeless run by the Catholic Church. Some 140,000 Central Americans, according to government figures, enter Mexico illegally each year in hopes of reaching the northern border to cross into the United States.
