  • 15 SEPTEMBER 2005 - MEXICO CITY: Revelers on the Zocalo in Mexico City, Sept 15, for the traditional "grito," the shout of "Viva Mexico" that marks the official start of Mexican Independence Day celebrations. Although Mexican Independence Day is Sept. 16, the celebrations usually start a couple of days before and continue through the 17th or 18th or September. It is the most important holiday on the Mexican calender. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • JULY 19, 2000 - TOLUCA, MEXICO, MEXICO: A woman walks through the "Portales"  in the historic section of Toluca, Mexico, July 19, 2000. Life in Toluca, which is at an altitude of 8,500 feet with daily high temperatures in the 60's and 70's, does not prepare people who come to the US illegally for the brutal conditions of the Sonoran desert. Roberto Olvera Morales, of Toluca, died in the desert west of Douglas, AZ, when he tried to enter the US illegally with Maria Ordaz and her son. Morales was originally from Toluca, about 50 miles from Mexico City, where he worked with his mother at a taco stand. Morales was just one of the more than 150 Mexicans who died in the southwestern US trying to get into the United States without the proper immigration documents during the summer of 2000. Most died of heat exhaustion or thirst in the deserts that span the US/Mexico border, a region where daily high temperatures in the summer frequently soar to over 120 degrees Fahrenheit.  © Jack Kurtz  BORDER  IMMIGRANTS  POVERTY  HUMAN RIGHTS  FAMILY  WEATHER  FRONTERA  MIGRANTES  FAMILIA
