TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) - The Migrant Trail completed their 75-mile walk Sunday morning that they began last week to raise awareness of the migrant deaths in the U.S. – Mexico borderlands.

The migrant trial walk has taken place for over two decades now. This year, over 40 people, young and old made the week-long journey from Sasabe, Sonora, Mexico to Tucson, Arizona. They walk to honor the thousands of migrants that have died or gone missing, trying to make the very same trek.

“They died because there wasn’t a safe place for them to enter, and our policies pushed them to their deaths,” said Jamie Wilson, organizing member with Migrant Trail.

Wilson has been involved with Migrant Trail for over a decade and has made the trek a few times now.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Somehow, I don't think our policies made them even cross the border...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
