Immigrant deaths are down in Yuma sector

The number of illegal immigrants dying in the deserts of Yuma County have decreased because they are trickling through other sectors to cross the border, the Border Patrol says.

The increased manpower along the border, with the help of of the National Guard and the new 52-mile border fence, are prime reasons that illegal immigrants are being deterred from crossing through the sector, said Eric Anderson, border patrol agent at the Yuma Sector.”*
