Train to El Norte - A Long Journey Ahead After a large raid by immigration shortly after the train stop in Ixtepec, these Honduran men are part of a small group who have made it to the town of Tierra Blanca, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico on July 10, 2006. Women, children, and the injured may stay in the local migrant shelter, while men are taken to a makeshift shelter where they will spend the night outside. They haven’t yet made it to Mexico City, less than halfway through Mexico. After making it through Mexico they still have to cross the desert into the United States, evading the security fence, surveillance, and National Guard. And still they come. “It’s a matter of math,” they say, “they could build the great wall of China and still we’d come.”
