Data Map: Immigration that crosses the US -Mexico River

Overseas Network, September 3rd. According to the Associated Press, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on September 2 that dozens of immigrants tried to cross the Grand River in Texas, causing at least 8 people to die.

The Grand River is the US -Mexico River. Recently, the local continuous rainfall has led to rivers. It is reported that the US staff has rescued 37 people and 16 people from the river. Mexican officials have detained 39 people, and officials of the two countries will continue to carry out search and rescue work.

The US -Mexico border has repeatedly occurred, and the humanitarian crisis has continued to be staged. On June 27, US law enforcement officers found 53 immigrant remains in a large truck carriage in Texas. This is the most serious immigration death in the United States in recent years. Statistics from the International Immigration Organization show that in the past three decades, thousands of people have died when they tried to enter the United States from Mexico, and many people died of dehydration or drowning.

The Washington Post issued a post on July 1 that the U.S. government has created the border wall at a high price, and tens of thousands of police officers, drones, vehicles, and monitoring equipment guard the border. Instead of preventing immigrants from entering the country, it has led to more death And more similar to tragedy. According to the article, the U.S. government does not regard border security as part of a broader national strategy. Instead, it blindly blocks the border and prevent illegal immigrants from pouring in. (Overseas Network Liu Qiang)
