Immigrants Need Support The dangers that are seen on the border have increased drastically year by year. The U.S. Border Patrol has impacting gangs, cartels and immigrants on the Mexican border. The U.S. Border Patrol faces danger when they go up against the drug cartels at the border because the people the drug cartels send across the border sometimes carry firearms, making it difficult for the border to determine if they should open fire on the person. There are many places along the U.S. border where these groups are put at high risk for safety. There is no guaranteed safety for either side, therefore based off the decision, to cross or not to cross, the consequences of what happen depends on the individual. There are people, coyotes, who know of certain parts of the border where they can help immigrants cross but they do not guarantee that they will make it across safely. Immigrant families Immigration from the Southern Mexico to the United States occurs on a freight train, “La Bestia” which takes passengers directly to the United States border, starting in Chiapas and crossing all of Mexico until the border (Watson and Jerrreat). These passengers ride on top of the train or in the freights, putting their life at risk to the point of death. One important aspect of this train is that drug cartels are in charge of the fees mounting the train. They charge what is equivalent to 100 dollars (Watson and Jerreat). Once that is paid in some form or another, they still pose many risks. However, if the amount is not paid, the immigrants are then kidnapped, beaten, are due sexual favors, and even in worst cases, forced to work in the gangs or killed (Watson and Jerreat). Even when on the train, the passengers run the risk of falling off the train causing much harm. Those who have fallen have lost limbs due to their fall. Take the case of sixteen year old, Benito. He
