Illegal border crossers are dying at record rates this month.

Since July 1, the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office has handled the bodies of 38 illegal border crossers, said Dr. Bruce Parks, chief medical examiner. That mid-month total puts July on pace to match or break the all-time single month record of 68 in July 2005.

“I never thought we would see that again,â€

Mexican Consulate officials?

now does anyone really care what the officials at any consulate says?
maybe the consulate should worry about them crossing in the desert and even leaving the country

If the mexican govt was so concerned why don't they stop them from their side?


I'm just not feeling sympathetic tonight

Its 113 in Vegas right now and if your stupid enough to try to cross a desert in this kind of heat , Well , your not smarter than a 1st grader

Mexico needs to keep its people on the southern side of the border. They are purposely allowing their people to come north or even be chased north by Drug cartel/Reconqista groups...

More reasons to build the Dang fence. It has been proven it stops most border crossings and saves lives.

Sorry to be crude, but - did any of the bodies have bullet holes?

They autopsy each body. Most die of dehydration in the summer. Some freeze to death in the winter. A few get beaten to death or are shot or stabbed.

Border-county law enforcement, Mexican Consulate officials, Tohono O'odham tribal officials and humanitarian groups say the buildup of border fencing, technology and agents has caused illegal border crossers to walk longer distances in more treacherous terrain, increasing the likelihood that people will get hurt or fatigued and left behind to die.

Excuse me! None of us are causing anyone to walk longer distances to sneak into this country. The law-breaking jumpers are doing this all by themselves. Humanitarians should be telling these loco fools to stay in Mexico.

Then to top it off these idiots put "water" stations out in that desert

"Not a dry eye in the house" Maybe the weather will enforce what our pretend Fed government refuses to do...... protect Americans from attack by a foreign nation.
