MEXICO. Tijuana. 2006. Migrant men find used clothing at La Casa del Migrante (House of the Migrant), which shelters 180 males 18 years of age or older for up to 15 days. The faith-based home, run by a Catholic priest, was founded in Tijuana in 1987. Between then and 2004, 141,000 men have found temporary shelter within its walls. Men from Central America, South America and Mexico have run out of money as they wait to attempt an illegal border crossing. Others have already been deported back to Mexico. The migrants are given meals, healthcare, haircuts, showers, spiritual guidance and a dormitory bed. There are six other shelters for migrants run by the Scalabrini Missionaries from Guatemala to Chicago, attempting to provide basic amenities to the hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants fleeing southern poverty.
