Description
Due to growing concern over the number of Mexican nationals injured and even killed while trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego is speaking out.
Monday morning, Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez sat with CBS 8 for a rare interview addressing the topic.
"Our conclusions are based on empirical evidence," said Gutierrez. "We think the people should know about the human costs of the wall."
According to his office, in 2022, 42 Mexican nationals died while trying to cross the San Diego border. In 2021, he said there were 41. However, in 2020, he said, there were just 16 deaths.
Gutierrez said the data showed in 2022, 80% of people who were injured while trying to cross the border have been attributed to people falling off the border wall.
