Coalicion De Derechos Humanos: Illegal Immigration

Kat Rodriguez Dept: For medical examiners at the Pima County morgue, his was an unusual case. Not in how he died making the same arduous journey that has claimed thousands of illegal immigrants but rather because he was identified so quickly, according to Montreal Gazette. "The language coming out is alarmingly more of the same," said Kat Rodriguez of Coalicion de Derechos Humanos in Tucson, who gathers information on missing migrants from family and friends to give to medical examiners trying to identify the dead and tUCSON, Ariz. - The body of Ildefonso Martinez arrived on a Friday night last April as John Doe, Case No. 12-01000. He wore black Nike shoes, a Perry Ellis belt, jeans with a 34-inch waist, a Casio watch. The death of migrants crossing the border has long been a tragic consequence of illegal immigration and, many say, the increase in U.S. border enforcement. For some, the problem is a powerful motivator in pushing Congress to act this year on immigration reform. But critics say proposals offered so far call for more enforcement with few specifics on how to save lives. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
