Humanitarian Crisis: Migrant Deaths at the US/Mexico Border

[Guest guest]

The ACLU and CNDH has released the subject report on the 15th

anniversary of the border enforcement policy Operation Gatekeeper that

concentrated border agents and added walls and fencing along populated areas,

intentionally forcing migrants to hostile environments and natural barriers

that increase the incidence of injury and death.

The crisis is highlighted in today’s Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/29/AR2009092903212.html?referrer=emailarticle

For those of you joining us at the Eastern Stream Migrant

Forum, the report offers some great background for the featured plenary panel the

will examine our border policies.

I’ve attached the report, but if you have trouble

accessing the attachment you may download the report at http://www.aclusandiego.org/news_item.php?article_id=000888.

There is a link at the bottom of the page to the report.
