782 migrants have died at the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal 2022, a record number of deaths
Overseas Network, September 19. According to a Fox News report on September 18, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials said that in fiscal year 2022 (starting on October 1, 2021), 782 immigrants have been crossing the U.S.-Mexico border so far. The death toll is at an all-time high, including 30 migrants who died in September alone.
Reports say there have been multiple mass immigration casualties on the U.S.-Mexico border this year.
On June 27, U.S. law enforcement officers found the remains of 53 immigrants in the carriage of a large truck in Texas, the worst known immigrant death in the United States in recent years.
In early September, 13 migrants were killed while crossing the Rio Rio Grande along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Earlier this year, the International Organization for Migration ranked the U.S.-Mexico border as the world's deadliest land migration route.
Regarding the ongoing immigration humanitarian crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, the U.S. "Washington Post" published an article on July 1 that the U.S. government built a border wall at a high price and dispatched tens of thousands of police, drones, vehicles and surveillance equipment to guard the border. Instead of stopping immigration, these led to more deaths and more tragedies like this.
The article stated that the US government did not regard border security as part of a broader national strategy, but blindly blocked the border and prevented the influx of illegal immigrants. This is a failed attempt, a disregard for the lives of immigrants and a violation of human rights.
