One of the numbers that blew people away when the migrant numbers were released was the number of deaths.
The report stated that there were 853 migrant deaths.
However, according to a Breitbart source at the CBP, that number is grossly understated.
Hiding the Truth
It turns out, we are not getting the full report…
Last year was quite likely the deadliest year ever for migrants at the southern border (with the caveat that the actual death toll is unknowable because some bodies are never found and many disappearances never reported). https://t.co/kLhKK27W6a

When bodies are found on the Mexican side of the border, they are not included in the total.
If there are drownings and the bodies are never recovered, they are not counted.
If the bodies are not recovered by CBP, they are not counted.
The source confirmed, “If Border Patrol was not involved in the recovery, the decedent is not included in Border Patrol reports.”
Based on this information, it is a fairly safe statement that the number was likely closer to 2,000 deaths.
Even at 853, however, why are we not hearing a peep from Democrats?
These are the same people that lost their minds every time one body showed up when Trump was president.
