This portion of the Border Crossing Memorial is in the form of an assemblage. In the center is clothing attached to a black cross which leans against the corrugated iron wall on the border. At its base is a vase of flowers. Three crosses on either side of the central black cross enumerate border deaths by year: In 1995, 61 deaths, in 1996, 59 deaths, in 1997, 89 deaths, in 1998, 147 deaths, in 1999, 111 deaths, and in 2000, 117 deaths. On the ground in front of the crosses are empty milk jugs with the words "No identificado" on them.
