Ciudad Hidalgo, Mexico CNN —A couple of dozen people pile into a van meant for 13.
The families grab their belongings and head along a tarmacked path as we join them, long grass mostly hiding them from the view of the highway and Mexican officials.
Occasionally, Mexican officials shout out across the grass to the walkers and tell them to come back to the main road.
This static game of cat and mouse will play out several times past several checkpoints on the route.
The migrants CNN spoke with said this was just another bump in their long road, another set of obstacles that will likely make what is generally a one-hour drive last the whole day.
