Death on the Border Chapter 101: Deadly crossing ends American dream for Guatemalan migrant

Deaths of migrants are a fact of life on the US/Mexico border.  Reuters report on one tragic case.  “Each year hundreds of migrants die trying to cross into the U.S. from Mexico. The Border Patrol tallied 294 deaths in 2017. But experts believe the actual figure is far higher. Some who die are never found.”
