Photos: A group of migrants reach US-Mexico border, others expected soon

Some of the Central American migrants who set out in a carvan from southern Mexico in late March reached the US-Mexico border. More migrants are expected to arrive soon. Every year thousands of migrants from improvised countries like Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala venture to cross Mexico in search of a better life. The migrants fear travelling alone as the ones who had split off reported kidnappings and having their documents torn up.

The carvan was to have formally ended in Mexico City, but many of the migrants feared going solo on the dangerous final leg north and decided to keep travelling en masse. Some who had split off to press on alone reported back about kidnappings and having their papers for safe passage torn up. (Edgard Garrido / REUTERS)
