Federal agents pulled the bodies of an additional four people out of the desert this past weekend, pushing the death toll in Arizona to at least 111 for this federal fiscal year.
So far this fiscal year, which runs Oct. 1 to Sept. 30, 96 of the dead were found within the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector.
The first to be found was spotted by a Border Patrol pilot near Three Points about 11 a.m. Friday, said sector spokesman Jim Hawkins.
A second was found Saturday when a group of seven who had been separated from their larger group lighted a campfire. A pilot who noticed the fire in the Cerro Colorado Mountains near Tubac found the body about 6 a.m. Saturday, Hawkins said.
The same day, still another, this one a man in his thirties, was found about 3 p.m. near the Tohono O'odham village of Hickiwan, close to the district office off Federal Route 34, Hawkins said.
Agents suspect a fourth had tried to walk around the Border Patrol checkpoint on Interstate 19 when he died, Hawkins said. That body was found about 9:30 a.m., Saturday near Amado, Hawkins said.
The four dead, coupled with two women found last Thursday in the Border Patrol's Yuma Sector threaten to help push this year's death toll past last year's - the deadliest year on record. An Arizona Daily Star compilation of medical-examiner records found 221 people had died trying to cross the Arizona border in that fiscal year.
The Border Patrol's Tucson Sector counts 69 deaths this year, Hawkins said.
I take it entrants == illegals?
Yup. Libspeak again trying to mask the real truth.
Yikes, I thought this was about the Miss Universe pageant. That would have been quite a story--jealousy gone awry.
Maybe this will set a good example for future illegals - "Enter here and die."
Entrants? I thought for a minute this was about the Belmont Stakes ...
I take it we're not talking about Missy, Buffy, Tiffany and Chelsey here.
Mother Nature. Just doing the work the Fed.Gov won't.
leftist just love to count bodies. A body count piece is the last resoprt for a talentless writer.
Congress and the President have blood on their hands.
STILL waiting for the feds to release the *official* numbers of US CITIZENS that die YEARLY due to the millions of illegal *entrants* roaming around our country.
This is what the pro-illegal alien people want to continue?
Ah, here we see yet another example of liberals using masking words in true Orwellian fashion.
Homosexual - Now called "gay"
Pro-life - Now called anti-abortion
Illegal aliens - Now called Entrants
I never much worry about it when people dies as a result of their own choice to engage in a criminal activity.
Another example of how good fences make good neighbors. If there wasn't a reasonable chance of making it into the country via this dangerous route, these people wouldn't be dying.
Sickening. I blame Booosh.
Assuming that you're not being sarcastic, you have a point. If we took border security seriously, these poor souls might have stayed home where they belonged. Instead, they came to believe that entering the US is a snap.
You want the Federal Government to kill illegals?
IT actually is true that combatting illegal border crossing is for their safety as well as our own, just as profiling of arabs at the airport is for their protection as well as everybody elses.
Boo Hoo, I say, Boo Hoo Hoo.
