Question

Note to moderator: Read answerline carefully.Description acceptable. One region’s “New Light” foundation is one of many nascent industries that profit from this goal in towns like Acandí and Necoclí. It’s not drugs, but the Gulf Clan levies taxes on this goal, whose purchasers buy “complete” or “all-inclusive” packages, or “installment” or “pay-as-you-go” deals. Violence is commonplace on La Bestia, a freight train (15[1])used for this goal. People dressed in biblical garb carry crosses at the start of an annual event dedicated to this goal named for the “Way of the Cross,” which departs from the (*) Northern Triangle. Brooks County is nicknamed “Death Valley” for seekers of this goal who are given water by the advocacy group No More Deaths. Thousands of Haitians with this goal (10[2])have crossed the Darién Gap with the help of coyotes. For 10 points, name this goal of the Central American migrant caravans. ■END■

ANSWER: immigrating to the United States [accept US in place of “United States”; accept equivalents such as migrating or seeking asylum, refuge, a better life, jobs, etc. in the United States; accept answers that indicate being smuggled or trafficked to the United States; accept answers that describe crossing the United States–Mexico Border; prompt on immigration by asking “to where?”; prompt on smuggling migrants or trafficking migrants by asking “for what purpose?”] (The first line refers to the New Light Darién Foundation.)
