The Devil's Highway



As the U.S. cracks down on immigration along the Mexican border, those still determined to enter are forced to take longer and more dangerous routes through brush and miles of desert. A new wall is under construction and 300 agents were added as guards. Reported deaths rose from 39 last year to 67 in 2008, reflecting this shift. In response, agents now carry basic necessities and life saving supplies, such as water and shoes to prevent fatalities. The overall effects of immigration and remittances plays a direct role in the economies of both countries, political affiliation with the culture, and civilian support for immigration policy.
