Interesting article about 'archaeolgy' along the border.

"As we make our way through the desert, we come across countless empty packets of ephedrine pills and cans of energy drinks along with the water
bottles. These are provided by coyotes (smugglers of migrants) in order to hurry people across the terrain. The water bottles are black, because
migrants think that black will make the containers harder to detect. “There’s a real lack of understanding of the true capacity and practices of the
Border Patrol,” De León says. “Agents use ground sensors now, aerial drones, thermal imaging — and the migrants still paint their bottles black.”

Thanks for posting an interesting article. It is sad that so many die and suffer.
