Democrats keep supporting illegal immigration, so, illegals keep attempting to come to the United States. Biden makes it as easy as possible for illegals to cross the border. And the results?
Migrant Deaths at Texas Border Crossing Jump 2,383% Over Last Six Years
More migrants are dying at the United States-Mexico border in El Paso, Texas, than at any other time in the past 25 years, with more women losing their lives and agencies lacking capacity to identify all those lost, according to a report out Friday.
One hundred and forty nine migrants died in the El Paso sector in the year to the end of September, according to the El Paso Times, marking a 2,383% increase over the six deaths recorded six years ago. Some Border Patrol officers are finding two or three bodies per day, according to the report.
The headline is a little misleading, as it attempts quietly to say things were bad under Trump. But, this is all on Biden
The United States Customs and Border Protection sector includes all of New Mexico, but the number of fatalities recorded does not include those who died across the border in neighboring Juárez before they could make it into the U.S.
Residents of New Mexico have stumbled on bodies in the desert, the outlet reported, while workers have had to get used to the smell of decaying bodies found in the Rio Grande.
Children have discovered bodies in backyards, while horse riders have also spotted bodies propped up on the side of the road.
The report said the number of women dying more than doubled from 2022 and tripled on 2021’s numbers.
Biden has a weekend off for that. He’s happy that tens of thousands more are making it the US just fine. Of course, the blame for the illegals dying is the United States
“I don’t remember a time when things were like this and not feeling any hope as I look toward the future,” Ruben Garcia, the executive director of El Paso’s Annunciation House, which provides assistance to migrants, told the Times.
“Where is the humanity? Where are the ethics? The morality? The justice in all of these human beings who are dying in the desert?,” he continued. “In order to respond, your soul has to be moved. Then you discover there aren’t a lot of people in government who operate in response to that.” (snip)
“The number of deaths is horrific,” U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, told the Times. “And the way that people are dying is equally horrific. From my perspective, it is proof that deterrence at the border does not work. It does not stop migration. It only makes migration deadlier.” (snip)
“Make no mistake, the rise in migrant deaths is neither circumstantial nor purely accidental, but due to the ill-conceived border enforcement strategies and operations happening at our southern border,” Fernando Garcia, executive director of the Border Network for Human Rights, told The Messenger.
In other words, they blame the US for actually having policies, like pretty much every other nation, which limits immigration and attempts to stop people at the border. Yet, these same Democrats freak out when people like Texas Governor Greg Abbott ships busload after busload to Democrat run areas.
Crossing the desert is tough. One wonders what the death rates are for those people back in their home country. Maybe they should have stayed there.
Maybe the Pilgrims should have stayed in England (and The Netherlands).
People go to extraordinary lengths for freedom, even sailing across the Atlantic and trekking the length of Mexico.
Yes, I AM comparing the two.
“Maybe the Pilgrims should have stayed in England…”
Yah, look what unrestricted immigration did to the American Indian..
Well, about half of the Pilgrims did die; out of 102 passengers on the Mayflower, only 53 were alive a year later. They were trying to reach Virginia, and were delayed en route, and were unprepared for a winter in New England.
My earliest American ancestor, Richard Warren survived. Technically, I am descended from one of his daughters, who was born in England, and Mr Warren’s wife and daughters stayed in England until Plymouth colony was stable, at which point Mr Warren sent for them; they arrived in 1623. Had Mr Warren not survived, it’s doubtful that his family would have followed him to America.
The highest migrant death count under Trump was about 500
This year undecided about 700.
The 2 main reasons for the increase are increase in extreme weather (mostly heat) and huge increase in number of asylum seekers.
Whenever Teach doesn’t post actual numbers you know he is hiding something.
Under Biden less than 2 asylum seekers on average die each day.
It’s up to Congress and our leaders to fix our asylum and immigration laws. They myth of “open borders” is not the issue, the crises in Central and South America are.
What are the crises? Drugs, crime, shit economies, oppression, failed states, agricultural failure.
Chicken Little
They myth of “open borders” is not the issue,
When can just walk into the room, stadium, country is OPEN.
the crises in Central and South America are.
And we act has a safety value by taking their excess population that otherwise could be in revolt.
Pvt ChickenShit,
We have laws for those seeking asylum. Write your Congressman and change the laws.
Urge House Republicans to supply resources for the border control. But after they finish their important work investigating Hunter Biden.
Chicken Little
And they violate those laws with Leftie assistances.
Chicken Little
And they violate those laws with Leftie assistances.
Ol’ ChickenShit,
You are unfamiliar with the asylum and refugee laws.
The laws are there. Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.
The problem is the Brandon administration refuses to enforce them.
Stop being a stupid 12yr old, Rimjob.
Our immigration laws do not need to be fixed; they need to be enforced!

The problem is that they illegals are not successfully fleeing those problems, but are in significant part bringing those problems with them. We need to close the border completely, and admit only those who can be safely and securely vetted, with a presumption that they are unfit to enter unless it can be proven that they are. Any potential immigrant with a neck or facial tattoo should be automatically rejected. Any single male potential immigrants should be immediately rejected. Realistically, only married families, married for a few years at least, should be admitted, families in which the father has a reasonable economic skill.
Once those criteria have been met, a medical exam must be passed, to reduce the spread of communicable diseases being brought in. Any detectable signs of homosexuality, transgenderism, or other perversions should be grounds for exclusion, and all people admitted should be required to pass a hair-based drug test, something which can detect drug usage for much further back than urine tests.
From the story, those are just the ones on the USA side. One wonders how many are meeting death in Mexico, Honduras and Panama en route. Seems like the Humane thing to do would be closing the border to immigration so people would stop trying to make this dangerous crossing. But then, the party of “breaking eggs” has never been shy about killing a few hundred people to support their agenda.
But then again, the party of christian virtue has never been shy about their fear and loathing of others.
Then again Rimjob has never been shy about his fear and loathing of Christian values.
MyLilStalker has it, once again, wrong.
I have neither fear nor loathing of Christian values. I DO have concerns about some so-called Christians who feel their “beliefs” apply to others and should be enforced by government fiat.
We know, we know that MyLilStalker has no interest in adult discourse so, fizzuck you. Have a nice day!
none of us here have ever asked that our beliefs apply to others NP enforced by government Fiat. Rather it is you on the left that have enforced via government Fiat abortion. Since abortion neither appears in the constitution is a power of the federal government nor does it appear to the state government it is by definition left to the people. In other words voting. Now we’re trying to get them to vote one way and you’re trying to get them to vote another way. That could be respectable except for one problem. You refused to state when life begins, because you know from that point on you don’t have a leg to stand on for abortion. If life begins at six months the last three months of pregnancy there could be no abortions cause it would be murder and you won’t even concede three months. You wanna be able to murder babies right up until they’re 10 years old.
And you certainly do have a fear and loathing about Christians and Christian values in fact you’re scared to death of people like us because one thing you can’t control is morality if people know what you’re preaching is wrong nobody’s gonna listen to you. So you cover it up with hate deep seething hate.
And you finish up with the usual Elwood nonsense “we know that MyLilStalker has no interest in adult discourse so, fizzuck you.” we can only presume fizzuck to you is adult discourse. LOL
LGB typed: the left that have enforced via government Fiat abortion
There is no law anywhere in the United States forcing pregnant women to have an abortion.
The American far-right is creating laws forcing 10 year old girls, raped by their uncle, to carry the baby to term or travel to another state to end the pregnancy. Idaho has a law banning assisting a woman going out of state for an abortion.
There is a far-right Christian belief that a fertilized egg is a person and therefore deserves all the associated protections.
LGB typed (lied): You wanna be able to murder babies right up until they’re 10 years old
Don’t be stupid. We have laws protecting persons from murder. BTW, 93% of abortions occur by week 13 of gestation. Roe v Wade permitted essentially any abortion through the first trimester, with increasing regulation permitted until term. Very few abortions are needed or performed in the third trimester. If the doctors find the fetus has no brain would YOU permit a late term abortion?
If the Court “ruled” no abortions after 6 months (unless for the life of the mother) the number of abortions would be the same. That was essentially Roe v Wade. 93% of abortions are performed by 13 weeks gestation.
LGB typed: do have a fear and loathing about Christians and Christian value
No. Just don’t inflict your myths on others. Don’t make other people’s children recite prayers in school, don’t oppress LGBTQ Americans, don’t force children to bear the children of their rapists, don’t oppress by law non-Christians, make taxpayers fund religious education, don’t force public schools to teach religious doctrine…
BTW…93% of abortions are performed by 13 weeks gestation.
Many far-rightists appear to be even more unhinged.
Rimjob: The American far-right is creating laws forcing 10 year old girls, raped by their uncle, to carry the baby to term or travel to another state to end the pregnancy.
Yeah, right. Got any actual citations proving that?
Such a dumbfuck. Even for a 12yr old.
Wow, Rimjob found 1 case.
ONE!
LMAO!
Notice the perp Fuentes had been in the country since 2015.
Another poor refugee/migrant probably.
