1. On 20th May 2019 on a Texan ranch (USA), 26 year old A.C.M. passed away.

'A' + her brother, 24 year old S.E.C., had been "led on a dangerous march through the arid ranchlands". 'S' stated that 'A' had complained of chest pains + so he carried her for a while. When he stopped to take a break, he saw that 'A' had died in his arms.

2.

2019 - Three bones are all that remain of a migrant who died in Brooks County, Texas, while attempting to circumvent the Border Patrol checkpoint.

3. On 1st June 2019 on a Texan ranch (USA), 42 year old L.J.O.H. was found dead.

'L' had left his home country of Nicaragua 4 months ago. He had been active in anti-government marches + protest, for which he had been harassed + threatened about. Fearing that he would either be imprisoned or killed, he fled to the US, making a stop in Mexico on the way.

'L' had died from dehydration. After a lengthy battle to get his body back to his home country, his funeral was held on 4th August.

4. On 20th October 2018 on a ranch near Falfurrias (USA), the body of a migrant was found. The man was identified as Mexican national, J.V.A.

5.

Two incomplete, sun-whitened human skeletons lie spoon-fashion beneath a drought-stunted palo verde tree in the Arizona desert. Animals—most likely pack rats, coyotes, and buzzards—have strewn ribs and vertebrae and other bones along a wide swath of beige sand. Scattered among the remains are a few Mexican coins, an orange comb, a toothbrush, a short-sleeved polo shirt, a zip-up blue jacket, a pair of jeans, a pair of blue panties and bra, a single green sock, a crocheted collar adorned with fake pearls and garnets, a purple and white backpack, and a complete set of upper and lower false teeth with a yellow metal star on the right front tooth.

It's February 12, 2012, and Border Patrol agents stumble upon the grim scene while on a routine patrol about nine miles north of the Mexican line on the Tohono O'odham Nation reservation, near Sells, Arizona. The agents take a GPS reading and notify Detective Juan Gonzales of the Tohono O'odham Police Department, which has jurisdiction over the investigation of deaths on tribal lands. They then head back out into the unforgiving desert.

The following day, Detective Gonzales visits the death site. He cannot find any identification documents. There's no sign of foul play. He collects the bones and effects, places them in a white plastic body bag, and transports the package to the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner in Tucson, about 90 miles northeast.

Over the next few days, Pima County Chief Medical Examiner Gregory Hess analyzes the skeletons. Hess is an expert in performing autopsies like these—autopsies of people who are presumed to have died trying to illegally cross the border from Mexico. Indeed, his office examines more migrant remains than any other medical-examiner office in the country. When these remains amount to animal-scattered sun-bleached bones that may have been in the desert for years, it is often impossible to determine how they died. There simply aren't enough clues. And so, instead of focusing on the cause of death, Hess aims to begin the long process of identifying the remains so that relatives seeking missing border-crossers can have some measure of peace.

Hess works closely with forensic anthropologists, foreign consulates, and the Arizona-based human rights group Derechos Humanos, all of which collect and tabulate reports from frantic relatives of missing undocumented border-crossers. His office also enters migrant-remains data into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, and partners with Humane Borders—a group famous for placing water on treacherous migrant trails—to create a searchable map of migrant deaths in Arizona.

In this case, after Hess completes his autopsy on the bones delivered by Detective Gonzales, forensic anthropologist Angela Soler rebuilds the two skeletons like puzzles, assigning stray ribs and femurs to the appropriate skulls. She determines that one skeleton belonged to a Hispanic woman aged 45 to 65, who stood about 4 feet 10 inches tall. The false teeth with the ornamental star were likely hers. Soler can't determine the sex of the other person, but telltale molars and unfused bones indicate the skeleton belonged to a juvenile, aged 10 to 13.

The two skeletons are labeled Doe 12-00360 and Doe 12-00359. A red plastic identification bracelet is hooked through the eye socket of each skull. Bone samples are excised for DNA testing. Next, the skeletons are zipped into separate body bags and wheeled on a shiny metal gurney to the foul-smelling refrigerated room where dozens of other migrant remains are stored on shelves. Sealed in plastic bags in humid conditions, the bones begin to gather mold.

I don't want to sound politically incorrect, but unrestricted immigration can be VERY harmful for migrants (not just U.S. citizens).

I have always appreciated foreign cultures.... I'm not a close-minded and old-fashioned right-winger.... but, immigrants must be vetted....

The USA started going down hill when the Irish and Italians were let in, so yes.

Surely you meant when the white 'Americans' killed the Native Americans + took their land...

US immigration is easy if you have advanced skills or education. If you're some broke immigrant with little to no skills the US doesn't want you or to take care of your welfare ass and subsequent chain family migrants.

That is the unofficial US policy on immigration.

They're called 'native' + 'indigenous' for a reason...

The Indians aren’t native, they migrated from Asia. Before their migration, It is believed the Vikings made landfall here first but left due to their artifacts dating many years before the Indians.
