ACLU Calls For Changes To U.S. Border Policy

November 12, 2009

SAN DIEGO — A new report shows the number people dying at the U.S.-Mexico border is increasing because of the U.S.’s border policy.

According to the report, more than 5,000 people in the past 15 years have died while trying to get into the U.S. anywhere between Texas and California.

The American Civil Liberties Union sent their own report to the Commission on Human Rights. It said the border fences and increased patrols are forcing illegal immigrants to cross into the U.S. in places that could kill them.
