Some of the people migrating to the United States are routed through the deserts of the Southwest by agents of the criminal cartels. This is a very profitable sideline for the sindicatos whose main business is cashing in on the fentanyl traffic through the very ports of entry denied to asylum seekers.

Pay your money and while Title 42 is in force get several chances to get past the border control checkpoints along the road to survival. Get caught and you will return to cartel warehouses to rest until your next try through the desert.

On your trek, under electronic surveillance like drones, helicopters, motion detectors, blimps that look like goldfish crackers in the heavens, tethered to the ground, you are hunted by Border Patrol and threatened by the cruel desert. You may find water that saves you placed by good people. You might not.

Along the wall in places you may find groups of children waiting for rescue by good people, and then by Border Patrol. They have been sent by family members who don’t want to expose them to that desert trek. While the children are taken into custody and confined, other family may brave the hazards of the Sonoran desert, on the heels of coyotes, the cartel guides, hoping to slip past the checkpoints that would defeat them, their minds set on freedom and joining their children in the promised land.
