Southern Arizona is seeing one of its wettest months in years, which is causing trouble at several parts of the southern border.
The heavy rains have caused debris to pile up on the border fence, making it impossible to close, prompting many people to illegally cross over the border.
The local Sheriff's Department says they see around seven illegal entries on their cameras every single hour but county officials say closing the gates and letting debris pile up there could cause problems with private properties in the area.
The Somerton Cocopah Fire Department has confirmed firefighters responded to a call of a 10-year-old found dead near County 15 Street and Levee Road, right next to the U.S. - Mexico Border.

No word on the cause of death of the 10-year-old child.
