According to Customs and Border Protection figures, the Tucson Sector has become the busiest along the southern border when it comes to migrant encounters.
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument sits right on the Arizona border with Mexico, famous for its saguaro cactus and amazing landscapes, and it can be brutally cold in the winter and incredibly hot in the summer.
Smugglers are suddenly steering migrants through some of the most desolate and dangerous areas of the Arizona borderlands, forcing them to walk for miles in scorching heat and sending rescues soaring. In just a month, the Border Patrol s Tucson Sector in July became the busiest along the U.S. border with Mexico for the first time since 2008. Humanitarian groups are carting more water south of tiny Ajo, Arizona, where smugglers leave migrants from faraway places like India, China, Senegal and Mauritania.
