Late last year Aljazeera was the first international news network to bring the world images of the makeshift migrant camps proliferating along the U.S. Mexico border: this spring, Aljazeera English returned to the same location to see if the situation had changed.

The Border Patrol says its detention facilities for asylum seekers are overwhelmed.

Our team returned to the border recently to check out the current conditions.
