Dying to Cross : The Worst Immigrant Tragedy in American History
reviewed on + 418 more book reviews


By the end of the book one it is just as upsetting that the author, the immigrants, & Mexican officials blame American immigration policies for the deaths rather those responsible. Those crossing the border illegally are breaking the law & they know the risks involved. I am in no way saying that they deserved wht they happened to them, but over seventy-five percent of the immigrants crossing over on the ship William Brown who died tragically & they were entering the country legally. Is it not to be considerd one of "the worst immigrant tragedies in American history" just because it was so long ago?
