Desert tragedy

Victor P. Gendrano



Greener
pastures just north
of their border beckoned,
luring yet another crosser
to death.

This is a true story, in the news a few months ago, of the illegals' ritual attempts to outwit the Border patrols in the US-Mexican border. When a father did not hear anything from her daughter who joined her friends to cross the border, he searched for her in the desert where she found her dead from heat and dehydration.
