Stuck between two countries

Tijuana, Mexico (CNN) — Part of the fence separating the United States and Mexico sits about 50 yards away from hundreds of tunnel-like holes and makeshift tents where people live, stuck between two countries.

The stench makes it hard to breathe, and it’s harder to fathom how any human being could live in these conditions. Yet, an estimated 4,000 people call this place home, a stretch known as “El Bordo,” or “the border,” wedged along the U.S.-Mexico border. It’s inside Mexico, just outside the city limits of Tijuana.

Unwanted by the United States and Mexico, this is the place where thousands have found refuge while they save up enough money to cross back into the United States.
