Here are the facts: Every 182 hours. someone dies trying to cross the border between the United States and Mexico. About a year ago. I asked the Government Accountability Office to study the deaths that take place along Americas borders. Today. my office released that study. The results are sobering. shocking. and. I strongly believe. a cause for action. Since 1995. deaths along our borders have doubled. Despite the heroic rescue efforts of the men and women of Customs and Border Protection. things have gotten worse. In 1995. 266 people died trying to cross our borders. Last year. 427 perished.
