Dying in the desert: American dream ends for Guatemala migrant
 
Quote:

Each year hundreds of migrants die trying to cross into the United States from Mexico. Thousands more need rescuing. The Border Patrol tallied 294 deaths in fiscal year 2017, the last year for which data is available. But experts believe the actual figure is far higher.

Yes, but what can America do about it? If people dice with death, then inevitably death will come calling!

@Nordmann...

Agreed. You can’t pity a person who decides to bite a bullet, or walk in front of a train. I pity the family.

Maybe he had a reason to flee.

If at all, was. But i guess not.
Sometimes your government is criminal. or the circumstances are so bad you risk your life rather to face certain death.

...and sometimes you're just a pawn of "people" with their own agenda who aren't bothered in the least by sacrificing you towards their aims. In fact your demise may even aid their cause. :03:

Yeah, you pays ya bet, and ya takes ya chances.
There's a few better ways of getting here...like legally.
