In-country migrants

When night falls, an occupying army of mostly cashiered factory workers rides the trains into the city from its rust-belt perimeter. On any given night, government officials estimate, there are as many as 40,000 garbage-pickers, or cartoneros -- cardboard men -- roaming Buenos Aires. That number has increased more than tenfold since Argentina's economic collapse. Now, there is not enough trash to go around. Miguel likes to arrive early and stake out his turf.

May be scary, may be sad, but it's reality.
