"Arizona's Border Crisis: Ranchers, Cartels, and Unprecedented Pressure"
Despite the presence of border walls and treacherous terrain, the Arizona sector has become the top hotspot for migrant crossings, with over 250,000 apprehensions recorded in the first four months of fiscal year 2024. Migrants from various countries, including Ecuador, Afghanistan, and Egypt, are crossing into the U.S. through this remote area, often with the help of smugglers. American volunteers are providing basic medical attention, water, and food to tired migrants, while Border Patrol has redirected manpower to process the increasing number of migrants seeking to turn themselves in.
