Death on the Border: Remains of 19 migrants found in Southern Arizona in July, a two-year high

Migrant crossings, and migrant deaths, have continued even as multiple presidential administrations have added hundreds of miles of costly border wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, steel barriers that migrants and smugglers routinely cut through, climb over or tunnel under, said Brad Jones, professor of political science at the UC Davis Global Migration Center and a Humane Borders board member."
