Anonymous graves mark the end of the line for migrants at US border
By AFP

Sheriff Urbino Martinez has collected the remains of so many dead migrants who have come across the US southern border that he is known as "The Undertaker."

"It's deadly out there," says Martinez, who patrols the small Texan county of Brooks, a few dozen kilometers (miles) from Mexico.

"We started keeping track of the dead bodies from 2009," he told AFP in his office, pointing to 20 thick volumes, where his department has information on 913 cases.

But, he says, that's only a fraction of the true human toll of the border crossings.

"I would multiply that times five, maybe even 10 for those bodies that will never be recovered."

The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

Meh.  They knew the risks.

It's sad. Most no doubt are good people who just wanted a better life, but got swindled and snookered by the Dems and their enablers to become collateral damage in their political reindeer games.
The Republic is lost.

The theme from Tony Richardson' hard-hitting 1979 film, "The Border":
