Ada and Her Family Fled El Salvador. She Died Alone in the New Mexico Desert Hundreds of migrants’ bodies have been found in the past three years in the Sunland Park Triangle, where New Mexico borders Texas and Mexico.

“There’s no mention [in the media] of what we find in the desert, which is like bibles, and love notes, and keychains with pictures of little kids, and all these clothes."

Instead, what Americans hear is “all this ‘invasion’ bullshit."

"Her skeleton lay in the open air. When they approached the site...the volunteer search party found a body dispersed across the landscape, a rib here, a leg bone there. An intact jawbone sat crooked on the ground. The scene was tragic, but all too commonplace."
