Border security
The deterrence policy, in place since 1993, causes border crossers to avoid places with checkpoints, forcing them to pick routes in more remote – and, therefore, more dangerous – terrain. And if they get into trouble, they are unwilling to seek rescue from the same agency that actively hunts, deports and detains them. These checkpoints are placed throughout the borderlands, and nearly every death from dehydration, heatstroke, or exposure occurs because their placement has lengthened the wilderness trek to its current deadly proportions.
