Deadliest Year Ever at the Southern Border with Almost 900 Migrants Dead | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This has been the deadliest year ever at the US Southern Border. A new report says 856 migrants died in the past 12 months all while trying to cross into the United States. In numbers from the US Customs and Border Protection Agency obtained by Fox News, there were more than 200,000 migrant encounters in the month of September alone. The influx is flooding cities and shelters throughout the United States. Senior Research Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at the Heritage Foundation, Simon Hankinson, joins to put these numbers in context for us. He explains how much of a rise we are seeing in the number of migrant encounters and the number of deaths of those trying to come. The Biden Administration has suggested American households could sponsor refugees. Hankinson tells us more about this and also whether there has been any mention of protections for the migrants or families that may be taking them in. He fills us in on what else he is following regarding migrants at the border. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
