"Two men and a woman, left, wait across the street from a migrant aid station in Nogales, Sonora Mexico. The men work as coyotes, or guides for immigrants and they wait for immigrants to be deported so they can transport them back across the border. The fees to cross, depending on where in America an immigrant wants to end up, ranges from $1000 and $3000. While it is very difficult to cross without a coyote, they present many dangers such as misleading the immigrants and beating and raping women that cannot keep up with the group. Gilberto Flores, sitting on the steps to the right, who oversees the aid station, is often seen conversing with the coyotes because he says if he does not make friends with them, he will be in danger." ©Joey Anchondo | Lightstalkers
