EDINBURG, Texas (Border Report) — An interactive art exhibit on display in South Texas features toe tags depicting where 3,200 undocumented migrants have died while trying to cross the desert into Arizona.

The exhibit, Hostile Terrain 94, is currently on display at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley at the campuses in Edinburg and Brownsville, Texas.

It is data-driven art that is part of the Undocumented Migration Project, a nonprofit research organization directed by anthropologists to highlight migrant remains. It combines the geographic location of where the migrants died with community participation to create massive wall-sized pieces that are put up throughout the world.

They should have f**king stayed where they were.  Too bad, so sad.  Life sucks, particularly when you put it in the blender and push the puree button intentionally.

Wow!  Somebody notices the Sonoran Desert is dangerous, then decides it's because we're not sufficiently eager to let illegals pour over the border.

I don't know how meme'd the south of the border culture is, but this needs to get infiltrated to their populus before putting yourself and your family at risk.

So when do they create the toe tag exhibit of all the American victims of the illegals? They in my estimation deserve the sympathy this 'artiste' is trying to gin up for the invaders.

The phrase "assumption of risk" comes to mind.
