Synopsis: The number of undocumented immigrants who surrendered to U.S. Border Patrol agents in San Luis, Arizona rose from a dozen a day in April 2021 to hundreds every night of the week by December 2022. Opportunist smugglers guided people to this illegal entry point along the Colorado River where the 30-ft-high fence ends. People from at least a dozen countries were given the false hope that asylum would be granted to everyone. The unprecedented, orderly breach of U.S. immigration law (controlled anarchy) resulted in the deportation of many who were desperate for a better life and simultaneously polarized AmericanÕs political opinion about immigration. Caption: On a bitter cold morning, hundreds of migrants who illegally crossed over from Mexico through the shallow Colorado River in the background line up and surrender to Border Patrol officers in San Luis, Arizona on Saturday, December 17, 2022. Some warm themselves at wood fires. Everyone walked around the end of the unfinished fence. To help manage the influx of so many men, women and children, the Border Patrol sector chief recently brought in portable toilets, drinking water and a canvass shelter.

An extended family who later said they were from Peru, walks around the end of the U.S.-Mexico border fence in San Luis, Arizona on Saturday, December 17, 2022. By daybreak they were among hundreds of others from around the world who hoped to be granted asylum and be released into the U.S.

Just before dawn, undocumented immigrants from Peru and Venezuela warm themselves by a makeshift wood fire near at the end of an unfinished section of the U.S.-Mexico border fence in San Luis, Arizona on Saturday, December 17, 2022. In the background more of about 300 people from a dozen countries line up and wait to surrender to U.S. Border Patrol agents.

A U.S. Border Patrol officer shines a flashlight on 2 suspected undocumented immigrants who were hiding along the border fence in San Luis, Arizona on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.
