"Two Mexican immigrants, Jorge Hernandez, top, 28, of Mexico City and Irinia Velasco Amezcua, 26, of Tuxtla Gutierrez, Chiapas, rest at an aid station run by No More Deaths near Arivaca, Arizona on August 31, 2007. The blisters on their feet were so bad that the group left them behind because they could barely walk. Later that day the organization called border patrol so they could be taken back to Nogales, Mexico, where they would prepare to cross again. Amezcua was on her way to Phoenix where her friend was holding a job for her in a restaurant. "It is a dream to live in Phoenix," Amezcua said." ©Joey Anchondo | Lightstalkers
