The USA southern border humanitarian crisis has been created for political purposes.

They almost made it. It used to be water stations in the desert. Now it is hardening the border and not having access to any lifesaving measures along the way. The differences are in the belief of life. People should not die in trying to escape poverty and violence.

This is not about criminals. Criminals that are chronically returned to their country of origin rather than being given a prison term in the USA is the problem. Trump likes to point to the crime committed by the Undocumented and in particular deaths of Americans. Those are repeat offenders that were sent back to their country of origin, only to return again. IT IS NOT AN ANSWER.

...Significantly, traffic stops, particularly driving while under the influence, were the number one reason undocumented persons were deported in 2017....

Sanctuary cities (click here) are not about prohibiting law enforcement, it is the opposite. Sanctuary cities enforce local law. Lawbreaking has to be reported by everyone, including the Undocumented before the rule of law works. Introducing federal officers into those cities sends the Undocumented underground and out of contact with local law enforcement. Federal police, like ICE, cause higher crime rates and compromise the safety of citizens.

U.S. Border Patrol agents found four bodies near the Rio Grande river along Anzalduas Park, close to McAllen, Texas. In this file photo, a Border Patrol boat is seen on the river along Anzalduas Park.

...The bodies have not yet been identified, (click here) and their country of origin isn't known. Their names won't be publicly released until authorities have informed their families.

In response to the discovery of the four bodies, the Texas Civil Rights Project called for an end to the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy that boosted immigration enforcement at the border. "When the government creates policies that make it harder to cross the border safely, people die," the group said on Twitter. "Children die. We have to shift our policies in favor of compassion."

In the 2018 fiscal year, the Border Patrol says, there were 283 deaths across the Southern border — with nearly 100 of those deaths reported in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector.
