It’s titled 2006 Report on Migrant Deaths at the U.S.-Mexico Border
Basically, it says while migrant deaths resulting from crossing the deserts of Arizona have decreased from “only” 205 deaths in Fiscal Year 2005-2006 compared to 2004-2005 and overall there has been a slight decrease in total migrant deaths along the border, there has actually been an increase in deaths in the El Paso sector of the border ”” a 100 percent increase.”
