Border Summer - Active resistance against a deadly border policy |
|
When the US Government implemented a new border policy in 1994 based on walls and deterrence, the deaths began. In the summer of 2000, Humane Borders formed and began putting water tanks in the desert for migrants to drink from. Two years went by and the number of lives lost due to dehydration and exposure rose. Then a second group, the Samaritans, came together and began driving the highways and back roads, offering help to anyone in need. And yet the deaths continued to rise. In 2004, No More Deaths came into being as a coalition, setting up desert aid camps and in 2006, migrant aid stations in Nogales and Agua Prieta. The death toll continues to rise. |
