A new report from a United Nations organization found that, with deaths of would-be illegal immigrants soaring during the Biden presidency, the U.S.-Mexico border is now the “deadliest land crossing in the world.”

According to the report, from the International Organization for Migration’s (IOM) Missing Migrants Project (MMP), more than 1,200 people died while migrating in the Americas in 2021. That’s a significant increase from the 854 deaths reported in 2019 and 798 deaths in 2020.

Of those deaths last year, at least 728 occurred at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“The number of deaths on the United States-Mexico border last year is significantly higher than in any year prior, even before COVID-19,” said report author Edwin Viales. “Yet, this number remains an undercount due to the diverse challenges for data collection.”

This new report comes as the number of would-be illegal crossings at America’s southern border continues to hit record highs —  239,416 alien encounters last month alone. And documents recently released as part of a lawsuit show the Biden administration has released more than 1 million illegal immigrants into the U.S. population. As Andrew Arthur, Resident Fellow in Law and Policy for the Center for Immigration Studies noted, that’s “a population larger than the number of residents in the president’s home state of Delaware,” and they’re “being released at a rate of 2,115 per day.”

The death toll for 2022, according to the IOM, is already 493, due in part to the recent horrific deaths of 46 migrants locked in the back of a tractor trailer.[/quote]
