Many do not make the journey.
According to CNN reporter Priscilla Alvarez, there have been 748 deaths along the United States' southern border since October, an increase from the 557 deaths in the last fiscal year.
“This might be the deadliest year, the deadliest fiscal year. A Homeland Security official now tells me that, so far this fiscal year, there have been 748 deaths along the southwest border, and that is still with a month to go in the fiscal year. Now, to compare, last fiscal year, there [were] 557 deaths and 247 deaths in fiscal year 2020,” Alvarez said.
These numbers only take into account those confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), meaning there could be hundreds of deaths that go unaccounted for.
Alvarez pointed out that illegal migrants often take treacherous paths in order to cross over into the U.S., noting eight bodies were recently found in the Rio Grande.
“Now, remember, migrants often pass through treacherous terrain, dangerous waters, and sometimes fall off the border barrier when crossing from Mexico to the United States. And that really came into focus last week when eight bodies were recovered from the Rio Grande in what was a mass drowning incident,” Alvarez said.
Since 2014, more than 4,000 fatalities have been recorded annually on migratory routes worldwide. The number of deaths recorded, however, represent only a minimum estimate because the majority of migrant deaths around the world go unrecorded. Since 1996, more than 75,000 migrant deaths have been recorded globally. These data not only highlight the issue of migrant fatalities and the consequences for families left behind, but can also be used to assess the risks of irregular migration and to design policies and programmes to make migration safer.
