USA. Arizona. Sasabe region. July 2024. New construction of wall and road. Joe Biden during his presidency made entrance more difficult by closing gaps in the wall and in June 2024, passed an executive order to bar migrants who cross illegally from seeking asylum. Tuscon Samaritans continue to deliver food and water to migrants who crossed the Sonora desert to await US Border Patrol for processing. Migrants pay Mexican cartels for passage through “their” territory suffering extortion, rape and abandonment. Some are also subject to violence and intimidation of US-based militia groups who “tour” the region. According to Migration Data Portal, the border between Mexico and the United States is the second deadliest land crossing in the world with 5,289 known deaths to date.
