Are borders so sacred that those crossing without permission should die?

   I think of Nigeria, and how it expelled unlawful migrants into the Sahara Deseret. The Associated Press reports 13,000 were sent into the hot desert from May 2017 till just a few weeks ago when outrage, the AP story, and UN condemnation reportedly brought the expulsions to a halt. I don't know how many died, but some did.

   I think of the U.S, and how 412 died on either side of the Mexican border with little media attention. Is it that we think they get what they deserve when they cross illegally?
