Approximately 750 migrants attempting to cross the southern border have died this fiscal year, 200 more than in 2021, according to information obtained by CNN from the Department of Homeland Security.

Almost 750 migrants attempting to cross the southern border have died this year, up 200 more than in 2021, according to Department of Homeland Security figures obtained by CNN In fiscal year 2021 there were 557 southwest border deaths
On their trip northward to the border, migrants frequently confront terrible conditions, including heat, water, crime, and falling from the border wall.

There have been 748 deaths since October 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, with one month remaining in the fiscal year. In fiscal year 2021, there were 557 deaths along the southwest border.

The number is certainly an underestimate because it only includes deaths witnessed by the Border Patrol and not those handled by state and local law enforcement.

Last week, Customs and Border Patrol reported to CNN that they retrieved eight bodies from the Rio Grande of border crossers.

Almost 750 migrants attempting to cross the southern border have died this year, an increase of 200 over 2021, according to DHS data obtained by CNN.

In fiscal year 2021, there were 557 deaths along the southwest border.

The number of deaths along the southern border has been on the rise for years, with 247 in 2020 and 300 in 2019.

In August of fiscal year 2022, the number of arrests along the southern border hit a record high of 2 million.

After Texas Governor Greg Abbott began busing migrants to liberal towns such as Washington, D.C., immigration has returned to the forefront of politics. also New York Governor Doug Ducey of Arizona followed suit. The political action prompted Washington, D.C. Calling the flow of migrants a ‘humanitarian disaster,’ Mayor Muriel Bowser has requested assistance from the National Guard to deal with the onslaught.

Mayor of New York City Eric Adams echoed this view, demanding assistance to manage the flood of migrants into his city.

After four months of gains culminating in May’s record-breaking 241,116 interactions, there were approximately 200,000 contacts in July, a decrease for the second consecutive month.
