Death on the Border: An Eyewitness Account

For a Reuter reporter’s account of the walking journey of migrants across the U.S./Mexico border, click here.  Here is the punch line:

“Driving back toward Tucson, I thought of the dead. The men, women and children plucked out of the desert month after month, some little more than skeletal remains.

It may have been the heat, the cold or the bandits that took their lives, but it was a wrong turn in the dark, a twisted ankle, or even some new shoes bought for the journey that just as surely killed them.”
