More Than 2,000 Die on Arizona-Mexico Border Since 2000

TUCSON, Arizona – More than 2,000 undocumented immigrants have died in the last decade on the border between Arizona and Mexico, including 253 in fiscal year 2010, according to a new report.

The report released by the Arizona Human Rights Coalition showed that from Sept. 30, 2000, to Sept. 30, 2010, a total of 2,104 illegal aliens died trying to cross the Arizona desert.

The years when the greatest number of deaths occurred were 2005, with 282 fatalities, followed by fiscal year 2010 with 253.

Coalition figures are based on data from coroners’ offices in counties along the Mexican border.

“This year we had the second highest number of deaths of undocumented immigrants ever, though the secretary of homeland security, Janet Napolitano, says that the border is more secure than ever,â€

This is the fault of the Mexican government, which encourages them to enter the U.S. illegally, and it is the fault of the U.S. government for failure to enforce our immigration laws, thereby encouraging illegals to come here.
