'La Bestia'
La Bestia means "The Beast" in English. This is a part of a movement for travelers to cross the border coming into America. For most people they do not get the opportunity to come to America. Either the people are taking by the border patrol or are killed by the this train. The people who ride the train have everything to lose which means risking their lives and trying to come to America.
