Dead bodies pile up in Texas as we fail to secure the border

They’re used to finding bodies in Brooks County, Texas. It’s nothing new: They have discovered the remains of over 650 dead migrants in this part of the Lone Star State since 2009.

Brooks County Sheriff Benny Martinez estimates that for every body recovered, there are five others that are never found. That means he suspects that in the last 10 years alone, nearly 4,000 migrants lost their lives in just his county. It is important to note, however, that Brooks County is located 70 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.
