More than 6,000 have Perished Crossing from Mexico

   Six thousand perished trying to cross from Mexico into the United States in the 16 years leading up to 2018.
    That's the official number. I take it from a website of the American Immigration Council, which (in 2018) reported this: The Border Patrol is under-counting -- has been for years.
   I read how there were 412 reported deaths in 2017. And, about 200 in 2018
   I wonder at the figures, if they are being purposely shaded so as to not contribute to any sympathy for the immigrant. I wonder if the under-counting has become worse the past year.
