Crossing the US-Mexico border is deadlier than ever for migrants – here's why
Joseph Nevins, Professor of Geography, Vassar College - Yesterday 8:23 AM
 

The June 2022 deaths of 53 people, victims of heat stroke, in the back of a tractor-trailer in San Antonio, Texas, show the dangers of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization.
 
All of the dead came from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras – the three most common origin countries of migrants encountered by the Border Patrol in 2021 and so far in 2022.

Such fatalities result from two intersecting phenomena. One is the massive growth in the federal government’s policing system in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands since the mid-1990s. The other is the strong and profoundly unequal ties between the United States and the home countries of most unauthorized – or undocumented – migrants.

It should be unilaterally fatal except for at legal crossings, and even then, only with legal documents.

How can you call  yourself an American if you think we should run by the rule of law and not the sniveling, crying, and sob stories of the left?

As is MSN's wont, the ultimate blame is laid upon Republicans, for resisting the open border policy.
