[quote=Anonymous]Here is a summary of the full report. (I know you folks don't like to take the time to post original sources.)
https://missingmigrants.iom.int/sites/g/files/tmzbdl601/files/publication/file/MMP%20annual%20regional%20overview%202021%20LAC_Executive%20Summary-ENG_0.pdf

While the report doesn't fully discuss the reasons WHY so many migrants are dying, there are some clues:

*In the wake of the Venezuelan economic crisis many people have been forced to leave their country through irregular routes, including dangerous overseas crossings to Caribbean nations.

*These deaths and disappearances are related to the lack of options for safe and regular mobility, which increases the likelihood of migrants opting for irregular migration pathways that put their lives at risk.

If you know even the basic facts about migration, you will know that there are "push" and "pull" factors that affect migration patterns. If more people are coming to the US through riskier and riskier routes, it is because the situation in their home country is so bad that they will literally risk their lives to come to the US. We're not unique in this regard. Look at the folks washing up on shore in Spain, Italy, and Greece. [/quote]
