Cold Cases in a Hot Land

Regardless of your particular point of view regarding immigration policy in the United States, this is a fascinating article.  

I think I empathize a great deal with how the article concludes.  If your options are watching your family starve to death at home, or breaking the law in order to try and save them, there aren’t many of us who will remain law-abiding for long.  Of course, this doesn’t solve the problem.  Any problems, actually.  But it’s good to remember that amidst the debates, there are real human beings who are risking their lives.  I am glad someone is taking the time and effort to try and let their families know when the person didn’t survive the journey.
