Guatemalan migrant Gladys Chinoy, 14, right, waits June 20 with more than 500 other migrants, many traveling with small children, beside the stuck freight train outside Reforma de Pineda, Chiapas state, Mexico. Gladys said she was more excited about seeing her mother in the U.S. than she was scared about the trip. Reached by phone in New York City, her mother said she was aware of the dangers but had finally decided they were worth it after five years apart. The mother said, “If she gets across, she can stay here, that’s what you hear.” (AP Photo)
