“Mexico’s Altar-Sasabe road is a mix of desert sand and gravel, with trash strewn on its shoulders. In the morning hours, there’s little traffic in either direction, but around noon that begins to change, as battered Ford and Chevy vans with “Altar-Sasabe” painted above the headlights and on the doors begin to leave every 10 minutes from the main square in Altar, a town in the state of Sonora. Each van is crammed with as many as 20 passengers, carrying little or no luggage, who have paid up to $20 for a one-way ticket north.
By 4 p.m., the vans are filling up and departing every two to three minutes. Soon a caravan of vehicles is snaking north at 40 miles an hour along the dirt road. They’re headed for Sasabe, an impoverished Mexican village that huddles just south of the U.S. border.”
