Immigration is the international movement of people to a destination country of which they are not natives or where they do not possess citizenship in order to settle as permanent residents or naturalized citizens.

SINCE 1998, AT LEAST 7,805 HUMAN BEINGS HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS THE U.S.-MÉXICO BORDER. MORE THAN 3,527 PEOPLE REMAIN DISAPPEARED. In their absence, tens of thousands of families across the United States and Latin America are left with the agonizing uncertainty of not knowing what has happened to their loved ones.
