After a 35 day government shutdown, over a proposed wall on the southern border, Democrats

and Republicans in Congress are now negotiating over what border security actually means.

So we check back in with the Daily's Annie Brown, who's been driving the length of

the U.S. Mexico border with reporter Ozom Ahmed.

Their last dispatch focused on migrants on the Mexican side, who are deciding whether

to cross the border illegally.

Today what happens once they cross?

Respective of what the government, whatever we know, we're going to cross.

We know we're going to cross.

It's Tuesday, January 29th.

A few days into our road trip along the border we found ourselves, not on the border at all,

but 80 miles north.

Okay, driving to Brooks County.

In a place in Texas called Brooks County, one of the deadliest counties in the country

for migrants.

What is today?

It's after making the dangerous trek to the border and then making it across successfully

it's not over.

The next thing they face is the inhospitable landscape.

The nature here is crazy.

It's just kind of this crudland untamed.

It's pretty remarkable.
