2021 is a unique year along the southern U.S./Mexi 2021 is a unique year along the southern U.S./Mexico border. Even though the border is closed due to COVID-19, there are record numbers of migrants crossing and dying, and what some say is a blind eye being turned by the current federal administration. The total number of encounters with illegal migrants on the southern border in 2021 is 1,119,204 million year to date. The border has not seen numbers this high since the year 2000. Despite both U.S. Border Patrol and state and local Sheriff’s offices being overwhelmed, Federal government help is nonexistent. Some migrants come at night by boat, some over, around or through the border wall, but merely crossing that line isn’t the end of their journey. Their journey continues beyond the border through private ranches heading north, occasionally turning deadly in a 100 degree desolate and unforgiving landscape. #border #america
