Smugglers are suddenly steering migrants through some of the most desolate and dangerous areas of the Arizona borderlands, forcing them to walk for miles in scorching heat. In just a month, the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector in July became the busiest along the U.S. border with Mexico for the first time since 2008. Migrant rescues have soared, including a 15-year-old boy from Guatemala a helicopter hoisted off a remote Arizona mountain. Humanitarian groups are carting more water south of tiny Ajo, Arizona, where smugglers leave migrants from faraway places like India, China, Senegal and Mauritania.
