Border Crossings on the Rise?

By immigrationprof

According to a 1-19-06 press release from Humane Borders, “on January 11, more than 1,800 migrants pased through the El Tortugo checkpoint, approximately 21 miles south of Sasabe, Arizona. This is alarming because it is both early in the annual migration and the numbers are higher than in any previous year. The percentage of migrants who are women and children is also increasing.” Humane Borders is concerned about the possible increase in the death toll due to an increase in crossings.
