Migrants recount nightmare journeys in US-bound trucks

Jose Mario Licona and his family spent 18 hours in a refrigerated truck being smuggled to the Mexican-US border — a journey he feels lucky to have survived. “When you make a deal, the first thing you ask (the smugglers) is not to be put in a container, but during the journey they do what they want,” Licona told AFP in a shelter in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez.
