Default 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.

@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.
