    Photos of 2023 and the stories behind them

    Migrants from Guatemala cross the Rio Bravo with the intention of turning themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents and requesting asylum, in El Paso, Texas, U.S. September 22, 2023. Photographer Jose Luis Gonzalez spent much of 2023 documenting how migrants from around the world desperate for a better life seek to cross the border from Mexico into the United States. The migrants Gonzalez portrays have generally left everything behind. Many have traveled for months without a clear idea about what awaits them. "It is a daily occurrence at the border to see asylum-seeking migrants trying to cross into the United States, and yet, I am always amazed to learn the stories behind the people," said Gonzalez.
