More Death on the Border

We have written extensively about the deaths resulting from the increased border enforcement along the U.S./Mexico border.  The latest story comes from South Texas and is in Texas Observer (here).

The photograph on the left is from www.stopgatekeeper.org, which keeps a running total of deaths resulting from Opertion Gatekeeper south of San Diego.  The pic is from 2004.  The death toll from that one operation is estimated at more than 3000 since it went into effect in the mid-1990s.

Bill Hing has published  a super article on Operation Gatekeeper — The Dark Side of Operation Gatekeeper, 7 U.C. Davis. J. Int’l L. & Pol’y 121, 124-26, 135-44 (2001).
