The death rate of migrants attempting to enter the U.S. is significant, with the U.S.-Mexico border being a particularly dangerous route. In 2023, nearly 8,600 migrant deaths were recorded globally, making it the deadliest year on record, according to the International Organization for Migration. The U.S.-Mexico border has seen a particularly high number of fatalities, with the International Organization for Migration stating that 686 deaths and disappearances were documented on that route in 2022 alone.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
U.S.-Mexico Border:
The U.S. Border Patrol has recorded over 8,000 migrant deaths along the Southwest border since 1998, according to the National Immigration Forum.
Deadly Routes:
The U.S.-Mexico border is recognized as the deadliest land route for migrants worldwide.
Causes of Death:
Common causes of death include drowning, exposure to extreme heat, falls, and dehydration, particularly in desert environments.
Underreporting:
Official figures may underestimate the true death toll due to incomplete data collection and reporting.
TODAY:
WASHINGTON — U.S. Customs and Border Protection released operational statistics today for May 2025. CBP monthly reporting can be viewed on CBP’s Stats and Summaries webpage.
“Under the leadership of this administration, CBP has received historic support resulting in another 93% decrease in illegal crossings along the southwest border this month when compared with last year,” said Pete Flores, Acting Commissioner of CBP. “Border numbers continue to trend at historic lows, reinforcing the sustained success of our enforcement efforts in securing the homeland and protecting American communities.”
Below are key operational statistics for CBP’s primary mission areas in May 2025.
