Smugglers use deadlier routes to bring migrants into U.S. as enforcement tightens along border

Yes. The routes are often now not across land but over the water at night. The problem becomes is the boat or are the boats seaworthy because many boats cannot withstand ocean waves which go over the bow or stern or to the port or starboard of the boat and swamp them and the people drown. Another problem is fog because you cannot see anything in the fog and might get run over by a Tanker or Cruise ship in the dark in the fog quite easily.

So, ocean routes on one level might get someone here in the dark of night onto American beaches (on any U.S. coast) but the dark side is are the smugglers boats and the people seaworthy to get someone here alive in all weather conditions? And once someone is here then what do they have to do to survive so they don't starve to death the first week or two?

However, after reading some of this article it isn't about water routes but dangerous desert routes via Cell phone without even a coyote "Handler" in person to guide them with carpet attached to their shoes so they cannot be tracked across the desert sands.

So, death rides the illegals who come to the U.S. in every way imaginable. Still, some people are so desperate for survival that they will bear anything to try to get to the U.S. or Canada.

More migrants are being sent alone through inhospitable terrain while smugglers guide them remotely using cellphones.
