Really tragic story.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=197110Special note to MrBenchley and CarinKaryn:
Please note that the cited article in the New York Times (registration required) does not mention the race or nationality of the child smuggler. Similar stories happen all the time here in California, too often resulting in the deaths of immigrants in the desert heat or mountain cold. Immigrants (or undocumented workers if you insist) frequently become victims of robbers or human-smugglers who don't give a shit about their lives.
THAT'S what the article about the problems in the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge is all about, not illegal immigration.
