Homeless immigrant Luis Hernandez, originally from Puebla, Mexico, walks past another homeless person, as he goes to work, Sept. 14, 2005, in the Skid Row area of downtown 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 nigh in parks, abandoned buildings and find refuge in camouflaged encampments under freeway overpasses and bridges.
