Immigration Between Mexico and Guatemala

26 JULY 2004 -- TAPACHULA, CHIAPAS, MEXICO: People from Guatemala ride on rafts across the Rio Suchiate towards the Mexican town of Hidalgo, near Tapachula. Tapachula is center of the smuggling industry between Mexico and Guatemala. Consumer goods are smuggled south to Guatemala (to avoid paying Guatemalan import duties) and people are smuggled north into Mexico. Most of the people coming north are hoping to eventually get to the United States. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
