For the month of May, Magnum Foundation will be showcasing work from the Magnum archive to highlight issues in the immigration debate as part of our LA RUTA project. 

According to National Immigration Forum study, Homeland Security spends $2 billion annually on the jailing and deportation of undocumented immigrants – a nearly 150% increase from 7 years ago.
