Migrants lie on the train tracks during a protest to raise awareness of violence towards migrants in Chahuites, Istmo de Tehuantepec January 8, 2011. Countless Latin American migrants travel some 1,900 miles (3,058 km) through Mexico hoping for a better life in the United States, but many see their journeys end in robbery, assault or arrest. According to Mexico’s National Commission of Human Rights, more than 10,000 migrants would have been kidnapped in the last six months. REUTERS/Jorge Luis Plata (MEXICO – Tags: POLITICS SOCIETY)
