I’ve been reading up on Manuel Mejia Dominguez’s disappearance, and something that stands out to me is the harsh reality that comes with crossing rivers like the Rio Grande illegally. Has anyone ever talked about what those conditions were like back in 1983? I mean, crossing at Falfurrias, Texas, seems like such a risky endeavor, especially with stronger currents during certain seasons. I understand the desperation and the hope for a better life, but were there other crossings considered safer at the time? It seems so reckless, but I guess people were just trying to find any possible way. Would love to hear if anyone has historical insight or stories about the routes these groups took and why.

I came across Manuel Mejia Dominguez’s case from 1983 and it got me thinking about how underestimated the power of the Rio Grande is. So many people attempt to cross it, not realizing the danger it poses. There have been numerous cases where bodies have been swept away and never recovered, similar to Manuel's. It makes me wonder about the search efforts at the time and the resources available for those who go missing in these situations. Did anyone ever look into conditions around Falfurrias during that period, like weather or river currents? I feel like understanding the context might lend more insight into what happened to Manuel and others like him.
