Ten times as many migrants died in New Mexico near the U.S.-Mexico border in each of the last two years compared with just five years ago as smuggling gangs steer them — exhausted, dehydrated and malnourished — mostly into the hot desert, canyons or mountains west of El Paso, Texas.
During the first eight months of 2024, the bodies of 108 presumed migrants mostly from Mexico and Central America were found near the border in New Mexico and often less than 10 miles (6 kilometers) from El Paso, according to the most recent data. The remains of 113 presumed migrants were found in New Mexico in 2023, compared with nine in 2020 and 10 in 2019.
It’s not clear exactly why more migrants are being found dead in that area, but many experts say smugglers are treating migrants more harshly and bringing them on paths that could be more dangerous in extreme summer temperatures.
The influx has taxed the University of New Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator, which identifies the dead and conducts autopsies that almost always show the cause as heat-related.

Democrats will offer this as proof that Trump “hates immigrants”. Somehow.
Mother Nature and criminals enforcing border protection for us.
That’s terrible. A secure border saves lives. A secure border discourages people from leaving home in the first place.
So stay home. The only ones I feel sorry for are the small children, who got no part in the decision to try to cross the border illegally.
“Democrats will offer this as proof that Trump “hates immigrants”. Somehow.”
The left is good at twisting things to fit their agenda. You can tell that Harris was coached to bring everything asked of her last night, back to Trump. She didn’t do it well, but, bless her heart, she tried.
Once the leftist media does the twisting, the public buys it.
If illegals saw body parts in front of them, they might decide not to come here.
The Biden-Harris-Myorkas creation of the crisis was intentional.
A bunch of desperately poor people taken advantage of by liberal scumbag politicians who refuse to secure the border, refuse to enforce the law.
eeek, yama hama...
Figment of your imagination ... what the looney Gov Lujan will likely say.
Martha says, it’s only 108.
That’s a shame. This whole deception has made me callous.
You could’ve warned us, before posting that!
“It’s not clear exactly why more migrants are being found dead in that area...could be more dangerous in extreme summer temperatures.”
Global Warming strikes again.
The truly compassionate thing is to have a strong border so these folks won’t even take the chance.
... mostly into the hot desert, canyons or mountains west of El Paso, Texas....
They don’t call them The Badlands, for nothing!
Oh, well. Maybe they should have stayed home instead of invading the USA and becoming criminals.
so STAY HOME
