The young Zapotec Indigenous people in La Raya, a small rural town in Oaxaca where the Chatino language is spoken, dream of migrating north to the United States, seeking prosperity.

Vargas, 28, is from the Mexican state of Oaxaca; her husband, 34, is from Colombia.

Their bodies were recently found in shallow graves in Mexico’s Oaxaca state.

Vasquez, an immigrant from Oaxaca, said it is unjust that his family’s well-being is at risk, while guest workers are being provided with quality housing.

Their slayings, amid swirling charges of an official cover-up, have sparked outrage in Oaxaca, which has a large Indigenous population and is among Mexico’s poorest states — while also a fast-growing tourist destination.
