A general tale of tragedy which in my usual caring manner jumped into my brain as "Who pays for all these dead people?"
Anyone who has dealt with a funeral knows it costs money to dispose of the meat package once the soul has left on its journey to the Great Beyond. As the numbers creep upward down on the TX border, you have a ton of people needed to collect, catalogue and dispose of the corpses you gotta pay, I hope slightly more than min wage.
I'm sure the local taxpayers don't like this much, but I also imagine getting enough money from the state or feds to cover it is close to impossible. I also suspect this problem will grow to the point the bodies will pile up faster than they can be removed. Piles of Skulls and Bones at the border.
Collapse.

'Where do we put the bodies?'
