mass graves of undocumented immigrants found in texas by Jive

In a neglected cemetery an hour's drive north of the Mexican border, the graves of unknown immigrants lay hidden among and beneath the marked gravestones of others.

“They’re buried throughout the cemetery,” explains Baylor University's Lori Baker, who heads a team of more than 30 archaeologists and forensic students. Her team has unearthed a mass grave of undocumented immigrants — dozens of bodies found in an unmarked corner of the Sacred Heart Burial Park in Falfurrias, Texas, nearly 80-miles from the border.

“[It’s] not something you should see in the United States,” she said. Some of the bodies they've exhumed were buried in trash bags or milk crates. "There’s no dignity in someone being buried in trash bags.”
