Unmarked Graves Across the U.S. Border (News|International) Sex: male. Age and nationality: unknown. Cause of death: drowning. Place and date: U.S. southern border, October 2005. This is the stark record left behind by a Latin American migrant who now lies in an unmarked grave, like thousands of others who have died without reaching their goal. The victim is on a list of 280 recorded in the U.S. state of Arizona by the Human Rights Coalition/Indigenous Alliance Without Borders in 2004-2005. More than 3,800 people have died in the U.S.-Mexican border region since 1993. Some 1,000 of them are buried in unmarked graves. Thousands of people from Latin America and the Caribbean die in the attempt to reach the United States or other destinations by the most varied means imaginable and trying to outwit ever stricter border controls. Some get lost or die of exposure in inhospitable desert areas, others are shipwrecked on the high seas, murdered, or suffocate in shipping containers, boxcars or trucks. Nobody knows for sure how many deaths there have been, but the numbers continue to mount. "We now know there are even some (Arizona county) authorities who have the bodies of unidentified immigrants cremated, because they are running out of room in the cemeteries," the coordinator of the non-governmental Human Rights Coalition/Indigenous Alliance Without Borders, Katarina Rodr

How were Mexicans treated in America?

Mexicans were discriminated mostly the same as blacks. You never hear about it, because they were considered "white", even though the whites discriminated against them. Many Mexicans were lynched, as well as Chinese and native Americans, but because they were labeled as "white", they were in the tolls of "white" lynching. ANYWAYS, in the early U.S., Mexicans have always been mistreated and discriminated against. The U.S. wanted their land, and they took it. The Mexicans stayed in the land, and many whites from the U.S. were angered and often deported them, even those who had citizenship in the U.S. Throughout the southwest, their were signs in small buisnesses and shops that said "no dogs or Mexicans". theses signs were also seen in public pools. Mexican children had to go to "Mexican Schools". Mexicans were also given caricatures, portraying them as dangerous, gross, and untrustworthy. Much of this segragation led to many conflicts with whites and Mexicans. This led on to the Zoot Suit Riots of the 40's, in which white sailors were angered at how the Mexicans had these "flashy zoot suits", so they started attacking them. The Mexicans fought back, and it turned into rioting, in which, the whites also targeted blacks, Chinese, and native Americans. Also, there was an "Operation Wetback" by the U.S. Government in the 50's, i belive, where the government used racial profiling to deport any "Mexican looking" person. They deported thousands, even those with U.S. citizenship. As of now, Mexicans, and all types of Latinos get discriminated against, even today
