24 OCTOBER 2003 -- TAPACHULA, CHIAPAS, MEX: Workers on a coffee plantation near Tapachula, Mexico, load a truck with harvested coffee. The plantation, like many in the area, relies on undocumented workers from Guatemala. World coffee prices have been depressed by over production in Brazil and Vietnam and thousands of coffee farmers in Mexico and Guatemala have been forced to emigrate to the US as undocumented workers because of the crisis in the coffee industry.
