Opinion: As hundreds of migrants flow in to Yuma each week, the Arizona border city faces a humanitarian emergency, writes JillianKayM
From Mexico to Yuma, the route for migrants is simple: Walk east. The Colorado River runs gently here, 3 feet at its deepest, so cross it by wading, not swimming. Climb up the bank and into the thick brush.
Pass a scorched black tree that was perhaps struck by lightning. Look out for rattlesnakes. The last obstacle, if you can call it that, is a vehicle barrier. Duck under or hop over. Hundreds of footprints mark the way, and the origin of a humanitarian crisis.
