More Deaths on the Border

Immigrant advocates called for an independent investigation of the U.S. Border Patrol’s pursuit policy Tuesday, a day after a vehicular accident killed nine illegal migrants and injured 12 during a high-speed chase along the Arizona border. The accident near Yuma, in which a Chevy Suburban flipped while swerving to avoid a spike strip deployed by the Border Patrol, was the latest of many dangerous and fatal chases, advocates said.   Click here for the whole story.  Thanks to Texas specialist Cappy White for tracking this story down.

Does anybody have a current count of the deaths resulting from the increased border operations began in 1994?  I lost count long ago.
