"Litany" seems the wrong word for a single incident. And, the AP needs to understand that the journey by Guatemalans, etc. across Mexico is not an "illegal journey". While the AP doesn't say when this incident occurred, since last August, undocumented persons are only subject to a regulatory fee for late registration.
