Or are they just turning a blind eye and letting nature take it's course? 41 deaths in 1 county, when there are probably many more that would never be reported sounds like a huge number to only be dehydration.

"In CHANNEL 5 NEWS Special Report: “Paying the Price,” we reported how a Honduran woman went missing on private ranch land in Brooks County.

Human rights activist Eddie Canales said the woman is one of hundreds who die in the brush. He said the biggest obstacle to finding remains of missing people is getting access to do searches on private property.

Landowners are speaking out about being associated with the number of people dying. The count of bodies found this year in Brooks County so far is 41.""

"“Somehow the U.S. is blamed for their deaths, or ranchers are blamed for their deaths, or others are blamed for their deaths,” Kibbe said [director of the South Texas Property Rights Association]. “When they know when they come into the country illegally, they’re taking this chance.”

A Honduran woman went missing on one of the largest ranches in south Texas. We tried to contact the landowners to get permission to be on the property. No one called back."

"Kibbe said people dying on ranches are not the biggest problem. “This is after the fact. This is a symptom of the overall issue,” she said.

The main issue Kibbe said is people in the country illegally are fleeing from their homelands. She said human rights activists should change their focus from the ranches to Central America.

“I think if they want to help these people, they need to go down and help them in their countries,” Kibbe said."

A few years ago I was disgusted to read an article talking about how ranchers would leave out water for immigrants so they wouldn't die on their property. It seems like the worm is turning. I especially liked how the ranchers pretty much said, "spics dying isn't a big problem, the problem is them coming here in the first place."
