Immigrants die en masse after illegal border crossing
More and more bodies of immigrants are found on the American border along Texas. Only in one district since 2009, were the bodies and remains of more than 500 migrants found.
Illegals who died in Texas, tried to circumvent customs control, so they made their way across the border, going over rough terrain. Most of them died from dehydration, heat stroke or hypothermia. Although the number of people who are detained while illegally crossing the border with Mekski is declining, the number of dead bodies of migrants has not dropped in recent months.
After the discovery of bodies or remains, they are assigned case numbers in order to be tracked and, if possible, identified.
"The idea is to figure out who they are and give them their name back," said Timothy Gocha, a forensic anthropologist who specializes in body identification.
Case 0435 - died a mile from the nearest road. They found a baseball cap in his backpack.
0469 Case - was found with a bracelet with a simple green ribbon tied in a knot.
The 0519 case was discovered with a band-aid and a torn Bible page in Spanish.
In recent years, hundreds of immigrants have died while crossing the border in Texas. Hundreds of others died in three other states that border Mexico — Arizona, California, and New Mexico.
In South Texas, authorities faced a terrible phenomenon - from 2014, 9 decomposed bodies were found on one ranch, 17 on the other, and 31 on the third.
According to statistics, the number of bodies found in the first months of the 2017 of the year is almost equal to the number of bodies found during the entire 2010 year.
Vultures do not sleep
The bodies of immigrants are often disfigured due to vultures, wild pigs and other animals. A large number of skulls, which are analyzed by researchers from Texas State University, have irregular holes in the back of the orbit. All due to the fact that the vultures knock out a thin bone to get to the eyes.
911
Sometimes immigrants can't stand a fight with nature and, exhausted and dehydrated, they try to call 911 to be rescued, arrested and returned home. This is perhaps the only option to survive.
This happened to Francisco Gonzalez, who crossed the border with other migrants, but got lost because of the border guard chase. He called the operator 911, dictated the phone to his beloved and asked her to tell the following: “Call her and tell her that I did not do it. Tell her that I love her and did everything for her to take care of our child. ”
His daughter was then 3 of the month. He had never seen her since he was in prison. Police arrested Gonzalez in Houston due to drunk driving and deported to Mexico. He tried to cross the border in 3 a month after the deportation, but got lost. His body was never found.
Esmeralda, that was the name of the one to whom he confessed his love, through a lawyer received a copy of the recording of the last conversation with 911 in memory of him.
