NotMyOldRedditName, Wow that’s way more people than I would have suspected.
I was half joking to myself is this some media clickbait where it went from something like 2 to 4 deaths.
That’s really sad 😔
PatFussy, It’s not just Mexican nationals trying to cross; you have many different countries of origin. It’s possible that they don’t know the terrain, the climate or what they are coming into.
tallwookie, I suppose there’s something to be said for crossing legally, in an air conditioned vehicle.

I’m certain they would if they had the option
