6,000 people died crossing US-Mexico border: rights group

More than 6,000 people were killed trying to cross the US-Mexican border illegally in the past 15 years, the American Civil Liberties Union said yesterday.

The ACLU urged the North American neighbours to declare a humanitarian crisis in the area, protect human lives and change policies that have led to an increase in the number of people who die trying to make the illegal move.

“The current policies in place on both sides of the US-Mexico border have created a humanitarian crisis that has led to the deaths of more than 5,000 people,” said Kevin Keenan, Executive Director of the ACLU of San Diego.

“Because of deadly practices and policies like Operation Gatekeeper, the death toll continues to rise unabated despite the decrease in unauthorised crossings due to economic factors,” he added.

The ACLU data were from the Mexican foreign ministry. It says 6,607 people died trying to cross the border since 1994. US Homeland Security officials have put the figure at 3,861.

1. You notice we NEVER hear about all these people. NEVER.

What we DO hear is that moronic claim Cuba is so terrifying they "risk their lives" coming by boat to the U.S.

They never do explain why a lot of the ones who come over from Cuba also go back for visits!
