The deaths were scattered along Arizona’s border with Mexico. Five of the bodies were were found west of Tucson.

Dozens of rescues, involving about 40 people in all, were conducted by Border Patrol search and rescue agents in the busiest three-day period ever for the Yuma office of the agency, said search-and-rescue supervisor Dan Sprick.

Dozens more were conducted in the Tucson sector, which covers all but the 50 westernmost miles of Arizona’s border with Mexico.

What the hell were they doing there, guys? Do your damn jobs!
