 For most, this life-threatening journey began in a small beachfront town in Colombia called Necocli. Nearly 3,000 miles away from our southern border is Necocli. It has become the staging ground where hundreds of thousands from all over the world gather and have gathered to begin their dangerous trek to the United States. On foot, they will travel through 66 miles of jungle inhabited by poisonous snakes and very treacherous terrain. We begin in Necocli.
