WITH MORE THAN TWO MILLION MIGRANTS ENCOUNTERED AT OUR BORDER LAST FISCAL YEAR, THE MOST EVER RECORDED, MORE MIGRANTS THAN EVER ARE ALSO RELYING ON FEDERAL AGENTS TO RESCUE THEM AS THEY ATTEMPT CROSSING DANGEROUS TERRAIN AND RIVERS TO GET ACROSS THE BORDER.

THE NUMBERS SERVING AS A TESTIMENT TO THE DANGERS MIGRANTS TREK THROUGH TO GET HERE.
AND A WARNING TO MIGRANTS…THE JOURNEY COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE.

BECAUSE AS CROSSINGS AND RESCUES HIT AN ALL TIME HIGH, THE NUMBER OF MIGRANT DEATHS AT THE BORDER ALSO HIT A NEW RECORD.
