Guatemalan Child

Tucson, Arizona, USA, June 26, 2014: An 11-year-old Guatemalan girl waits with her mother in Tucson at bus station where she was dropped off by the U.S. Border Patrol after being apprehended near Douglas, Arizona, USA, where they crossed the border illegally from Mexico. The two traveled for about five days from Guatemala to get to the Arizona border. They, along with others, heard in Guatemala that mothers with children could find work in the U.S. and better their lives. Recently flooded with undocumented migrants from Central America, federal authorities are transporting children with adults to bus stations where they will head to other states in the U.S. Their status in the U.S. will be addressed by authorities after they reach their destination.
