To circumvent the final and busiest immigration checkpoint in Texas, Central American migrants illegally crossing into the United States go on a 20-mile walk through backcountry brush.
And every night at least one migrant dies attempting to make this 20-mile walk across the merciless terrain of Brooks County, Texas.
They die of dehydration. They die because they are weak, confused, lost and thirsty. They die because death is here.
But one man is fighting death. In the borderlands, Eddie Canales is putting out water stations for migrants to drink and survive the deadly crossing.
