The experience for these people is often horrific. They pay
coyotes large sums of money to lead them across the border, but
once inside the US the migrants are sometimes abandoned or
killed. Many die in overheated transport trucks or from
dehydration in the desert. Women are sometimes assaulted and
left alone. Our Border Patrol can't keep up with the numbers who
are crossing.
