Death Tolls

Now that the Aztec mini-project has been completed, I have been seriously focusing on researching the socio-economic conditions of migrant workers in the United States.

However, all of my research seems to be leading me to the current conditions from a human rights perspective. There is a lot of criticism on the way the border is being maintained, and the brute force that border patrol seems to be using. On one site in particular, they break down the death toll so you can get a feel for why these unneccesary deaths are occuring (which is kind of an oxi-moron really).

In any case:
