Virginia Raymond speaks with Eduardo Canales of the South Texas Human Rights Center about their mission, to end death and suffering on the Texas/Mexico border. “And to this day it continues, and to this day, there's lack of documentation in terms of human rights abuses at borders… the border doesn't mean you don't have any constitutional rights.
