With a smart wall, migrants who found themselves lost in the deserts and mountains along the border would be spotted, captured and safely deported. This is, at least, the vision Joe Biden is counting on.
. Trump played into this with get-tough rhetoric about the virtues of a physical barrier. While visiting the border he once remarked that his wall was designed to absorb heat, which would presumably burn the flesh of any migrant who attempted to climb it. “You can fry an egg on that wall,” Trump joked. A surveillance tower won’t burn anyone. Migrants can’t fall off of it. But the idea that it is any more humane is puzzling, especially because they have not slowed migration.
The most reliable way to track the paths of migration was to document the locations of those who didn’t make it. So Chambers and Boyce collected data from the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, which had recorded the locations of every migrant body found in its district. That included SBInet territory. At the top of the hill, beneath the tower, Chambers swigged from a water bottle. We looked out across a network of ravines. The border was five miles away.
Gregory Hess, the chief medical examiner for Pima County, Ariz., writes a detailed description of each unidentified body found in the desert and stores the information along with the remains in cardboard boxes in a temperature-controlled truck., showed a map with dots to represent each migrant death recorded from 2004 to 2006 and from 2007 to 2009 . Before the towers rose in the desert, the dead are dispersed, many in the lowlands where the firm and level ground makes for easier travel.
This year in Pima County alone, 210 migrant bodies have been found in the desert, on track for the most deaths of any year on record.
