"Much of the discussion over illegal immigration to the U.S. has in recent
weeks moved its focus south to the Darien Gap.

This treacherous route that spans parts of Central and South America has seen
an increasing number of people attempting to pass on their way to claiming
asylum in the U.S.

To explore the reasons why, The Conversation turned to Sara McKinnon, an
immigration scholar at University of Wisconsin-Madison, who knows the region
well and has interviewed people who have traversed the jungle crossing."
