    The U.N. International Organization for Migration estimates almost 3,000 migrants have died crossing from Mexico to the U.S. by drowning in Rio Grande, or because of lack of shelter, food or water.

    Humanitarian groups started placing water for migrants in spots on the U.S. side of the border with Mexico in the 1990s after authorities began finding bodies of those who succumbed to the harsh conditions.

    The investigator drove up and down the main highway where many of the water stations were installed near private property fence lines making note of the circumstances of each missing barrel.

    The group No More Deaths in 2018 released video of Border Patrol agents kicking over and pouring water out of gallon jugs left for people in the desert.

    The Hunters met with Eddie Canales, the executive director of the South Texas Human Rights Center, about 15 years ago and provided the design for the low-cost water stations.

    The number of migrants crossing through South Texas and subsequent deaths decreased this year after President Joe Biden’s administration instituted new border polices.

        Because Im not? Just don’t want illegal immigrants, and we shouldn’t encourage them.

          does it matter where the immigrants come from? What makes them illegal immigrants? They are immigrants fleeing for their lives a lot of times. If they want to come over here and start the process of becoming legal that’s great. If they want to work illegally no skin off of my back. There are no social services for illegal immigrants it doesn’t cost you anything and don’t pretend they are taking your jobs because we both know you aren’t going to do the jobs they do anyhow. Idk why I’m even commenting.
