Report: Crossing the Line

With all I'm learning about regarding the problems migrants experience here on the Southern border, I've been thinking a lot about how U.S. policy influences the situation here. Nevertheless, there's another, much more obvious side to how the U.S. government affects the well-being of migrants, that occurs on the northern border. A new report from No More Deaths, a non-profit based in Tuscon, Arizona, provides a shocking picture of the routine violation of the human rights of migrants by our very own U.S. funded, trained, and operated Border Patrol. Go to their website http://www.nomoredeaths.org/ to read the executive summary or the full report.
