Going back decade, Margaret Regan has reported over the escalating chaos along the Arizona-Mexico border, ground zero for immigration since 2000. Undocumented migrants cross into Az in overwhelming numbers, circumstances whose anti-immigrant laws and regulations will be the most strict in the country. And Arizona gets the highest amount of migrant deaths..Read More about The Death of Josseline: Immigration Stories from the Arizona Borderlands Fourteen-year-old Josseline, a young girl from Un Salvador who was left to pass away alone on the migrant trail, was just one of thousands to perish in its deserts and mountains.

With a sweeping perspective and vivid on-the-ground reportage, Regan tells the tales from the people caught up within this worldwide tragedy. Traveling backwards and forwards across the boundary, she visits migrants stranded in Mexican shelters and trips shotgun with Boundary Patrol realtors in Arizona, trekking with them all night in the scorching desert; she camps out in the thorny wilderness with No More Deaths activists and matches with angry ranchers and vigilantes. Using Az like a microcosm, Regan explores a bunch of urgent problems: the border militarization that threatens the rights of U.S. citizens, the environmental harm wrought by the boundary wall structure, the desperation that compels migrants to arrive north, as well as the human being tragedy from the unidentified dead in Arizona’s morgues.
