According to the Government Accountability Office, 2,700 migrants have died crossing into the US under President Biden and border czar Kamala Harris.
“The reason we have seen more deaths is because people believe the government is allowing people into the United States and therefore, they are taking more of a risk. Like other areas along the southwest border, we too have seen a significant increase in illegal aliens crossings, apprehensions and gotaways,” said Terrell County Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland.
“With its open border policies, this administration is most definitely to blame for the increase in deaths. They have given those wanting to come to America the desire to risk their lives.”
From The New York Post:
Before serving as sheriff, Cleveland was a Border Patrol agent in the same area, where they usually only found one body a year.
Under the Trump administration, there were about 1,100 recorded migrant deaths across the southern border.
Harris was tasked with addressing the “root causes of migration” three months into the Biden administration. What followed was the deadliest year on record at the southern border in the fiscal year 2022, when feds recorded 900 migrant deaths.
The United Nations International Office of Migration (IOM) labeled the southern border the “world’s deadliest migrant land route after the record.
Since Harris took on the role of stopping migration, the sheriff says he’s been inundated with countless Facebook messages from loved ones searching for their family members they know crossed in his rmote county. Sometimes he finds them, many times he can’t.
“I don’t care if you’re a good guy or bad guy, legal or illegal. I don’t want to see anybody die. That’s still somebody’s loved one,” said Cleveland.
