Vanguard correspondent Christof Putzel investigates the record-setting number of dead bodies found in the Arizona desert -- mostly migrants -- whose unidentified remains must be stored in a refrigerator truck because the local morgues are full. He also talks to a local forensic anthropologist about the risks he might encounter if he crosses the border on foot.
In "Life And Death On The Border," Putzel travels to the U.S./Mexico border to investigate one of the most contentious issues in America today: immigration. Meeting with "coyotes," the hired smugglers who offer to take immigrants across the border for a fee, Putzel learns the methods used to evade border patrol and the dangers they face on the journey. Arrest and deportation are inherent risks, but the lack of water and scorching temperatures of the desert crossing are far more deadly. Those who do make it safely across the border face tightening immigration laws and an increasingly hostile public. Putzel ultimately crosses the border with a migrant and coyote.
"Life And Death On The Border" premieres on Monday, November 15 at 9/8c on Current TV.
