Lone Texas sheriff recovers bodies of hundreds of illegal immigrants: Documentary
Fox News
From Jan. 17: For many illegal immigrants who have managed to cross the Mexican border into the United States, the most deadly and dangerous part of their journey still lies ahead of them.
In southeast Texas, there is only one road leading into the U.S. interior, U.S. Highway 281, which stretches more than 1,800 miles from Mexico to Canada. Though, just 80 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border is a Border Patrol checkpoint in Falfurrias, Texas. It's a last line of border defense that thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants risk — and lose — their lives trying to circumvent.
