The death of a 6-year-old girl, whose remains were found in a remote desert area in Arizona this week, highlights a reality that's been playing out at the US-Mexico border in recent years: A growing number of migrants from India have been crossing there.
On the day she died, the little girl was thousands of miles away from the country where she was born.
US Border Patrol agents found her remains this week in an area officials describe as"rugged desert wilderness," 17 miles west of Lukeville, Arizona. In a statement Thursday, US Customs and Border Protection said the deceased child was believed to be a citizen of India, and that she had been traveling in a group reportedly dropped off near the border"by human smugglers who ordered the group to cross in the dangerous and austere location.
Acting DHS chief: We have an unprecedented crisis 02:09Overcrowded Border Patrol facilities are packed not with the single men from Mexico who once made up most of the border-crossers, but primarily with Central American families and unaccompanied children, many of whom are seeking asylum.
