Mexican Border

Elizabeth Nava Ausin, 32, right, and her daughters, Yokebed, 5, (left), and Samantha Rached, 10, slept in the sand in the desert for seven nights before crossing into the U.S. illegally from Mexico near Lukeville, Arizona. Their journey to Phoenix ended when a Border Patrol agent noticed the weighted bed of the pickup truck in which 18 illegal immigrants rode and stopped the vehicle. They wait on a bus in Sells to be deported.
