A man identified as a homeless immigrant emerges from a cardboard box used as an overnight shelter, in the early morning, Sept. 14, 2005 near Skid Row in los Angeles. Among the estimated 14,000 people who live in Skid Row there exists a small shadow population of homeless immigrants who bed down each night in parks, abandoned buildings and find refuge in camouflaged encampments under freeway overpasses and bridges.
