Ramon Sierra sits at his dining room table in Sunland Park and reads from his wife’s death certificate. Maria Sierra died on June 2 at age 63. She suffered from ailments including stage 4 chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, hypertension, and systematic lupus — some of which can be caused by arsenic. In the background are cases of bottled water, which Ramon Sierra\u00a0drinks instead of his home’s tap water.<\/p><\/div>\n

SUNLAND PARK \u2014 Ramon Sierra worries about the children in his neighborhood.<\/p>\n

He sits at his dining room table in Sunland Park’s Anapra area\u00a0and watches the street through his front door. Sometimes kids play outside under a punishing sun or pass by on bikes. Sometimes he sees them drinking water from a hose to cool off.<\/p>\n
