Getty Images photographer John Moore has spent years covering stories about immigration between Mexico and the United States. Earlier this year, he traveled south to the Mexico-Guatemala border, where immigrants cross the Suchiate River, beginning their long and perilous journey north through Mexico. He traveled with some of the thousands of immigrants who ride atop freight trains, known as "la bestia," or the Beast, toward the U.S. border. Riders on the Beast risk a great deal -- robbery and assault by gangs who control the train tops, or the loss of life or limb in a fall.
