UN agency cites jump in migrant deaths on US-Mexico border

 
By Associated Press August 4

GENEVA — The U.N.’s migration agency said Friday that it has tallied an increase this year in deaths of people trying to enter the United States from Mexico even as illegal crossings appear to have dropped sharply.

The International Organization of Migration counted 232 migrant deaths through the end of July, up from 204 a year earlier.

Why are they worried about this?  The murder numbers in Chicago is twice the death numbers on the border but no one cares about Chicago.

Perhaps this will dissuade some from attempting the journey.

And that's a good thing.
