Here is an NPR article from 2022 saying that drownings in the Rio Grande are common. In fact there are “dozens” a month:

The fire department helps recover the bodies of migrants who drowned trying to cross. Mello says the department used to get one or two calls a month. Now it gets dozens. NPR

So, does that mean all the other deaths are on Border Patrol’s heads? If so, there’s a wide lead before Texas State Police catches up to them.
I can’t stand the hypocritical media spin over this (if it’s even true). And yes, I would agree people shouldn’t risk their lives doing this but the reward on the other side of the Rio Grande is just so great. Thanks be to Brandon.
