The whole thing is bogus. If you are really seeking asylum, why would you lengthen your trip by 1400 miles, unless you know you have a better chance with the 9th Circuit Court and Sanctuary Cities.

Not only are you lengthening the trip in distance you are choosing to cross the DESERT. At least going directly north you are close to civilization and WATER. Even very healthy people die from trying to cross the desert on foot.
