VOICED : Mexican immigrants undeterred by US

The video discusses the deployment of 2600 border guards in San Diego County, tasked with preventing illegal entry into the US. It highlights the significant upgrades in border security over the past decade, including increased manpower and technology. Despite these efforts, challenges remain due to the presence of gunrunners and drug cartels. The video also explores the decline in illegal entry, partly due to a weaker US economy, and the ongoing presence of 11 million undocumented individuals, primarily from Mexico. Charities like Border Angels provide aid to migrants living in dire conditions. The risks of crossing the border, exacerbated by Operation Gatekeeper, have led to numerous fatalities, yet migrants continue to attempt entry.
