For a really really excellent book-length treatment, see Jason DeLeĆ³n's The Land of Open Graves. I read it for an anthropology course a few weeks ago and sections had me in tears.

I have a book called High Risk Photography which had a photoessay of a lot of that stuff 20 years ago. It's fucking amazing.

I also knew a guy in high school whose grandfather had a ranch on the rio down in Texas.

He kept a rifle on the porch to take pot shots at migrants crossing at night.

This is the world we live in.
