Refuse Of A Journey: Immigrants' Items Left Behind After Crossing Into US Via Mexican Border

MISSION, TX - JULY 24: Items left behind by undocumented immigrants lies on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande River on July 24, 2014 near Mission, Texas. Tens of thousands of families and unaccompanied minors have crossed illegally into the United States this year, causing a humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. Texas' Rio Grande Valley has become the epicenter of the latest immigrant crisis, as more immigrants, especially Central Americans, cross illegally from Mexico into that sector than any other stretch of the America's 1,933 mile border with Mexico.
