Migrant deaths along the Mexico–U.S. border occur hundreds of times a year because of those attempting to cross into the United States from Mexico illegally.〔United States Government Accounting Office. (GAO-06-770 ), August 2006.〕 The number of deaths increased in the mid-1990s with exposure (including heat stroke, dehydration, and hyperthermia) being the leading cause.〔Eschbach, K., J. Hagan and N. Rodriguez (2001): (Causes and Trends in Migrant Deaths Along the U.S.-Mexico Border 1985-1998 ). Center for Immigration Research, University of Houston ((Executive Summary )).〕 According to the United States Border Patrol, 1,954 people died crossing the U.S–Mexico border between the years 1998-2004. In the fiscal year ending September 29, 2004, 460 migrants died crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.〔Richard Marosi: (Border Crossing Deaths Set a 12-Month Record ). Los Angeles Times, October 1, 2005.〕 In 2005, more than 500 died across the entire U.S.-Mexico border.〔PBS Frontline (June 27, 2006): (U.S.-Mexico Border: The Season of Death )〕 The number of yearly border crossing deaths has doubled since 1995. In 2009, 417 deaths were reported across the border.〔http://www.azcentral.com/news/articles/2010/05/07/20100507immigrants-border-deaths.html#ixzz0ymgiHdZ5 U.S. laws blamed for migrant deaths. The Arizona Republic〕 Yet the statistics cited by scholars and the media are only the number of known deaths and do not include those who have never been found, underestimating the actual number of migrants that have died attempting unauthorized border crossings. Mexico's Secretariat of Foreign Affairs has compiled data including deaths on the Mexican side of the border area during the period from 1994 to 2000. The data shows 87 deaths in 1996, 149 in 1997, 329 in 1998, 358 in 1999, and 499 in 2000.〔Wayne A. Cornelius (2001): (Death at the Border: The Efficacy and “Unintended” Consequences of U.S. Immigration Control Policy 1993-2000 ). The Center for Comparative Immigration Studies University of California, San Diego.〕 ==Arizona== The ''Arizona Daily Star'' maintained a database of border deaths recorded by the Pima, Santa Cruz, Cochise, and Yuma County medical examiners between summer 2004 and September 2006.〔Arizona Daily Star (Border Death Database )〕 They stated, "With no official record-keeping system, the exact number of illegal entrants who have died along the Arizona stretch of U.S.-Mexican border has never been known".〔http://regulus.azstarnet.com/borderdeaths/search.php, retrieved 14 May 2006 〕 The number of dead border crossing migrants per year in Arizona increased from nine in 1990 to 201 in 2005; about 80% of the dead migrants were under 40 during 2000-2005, with an increasing number younger than 18. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Migrant deaths along the Mexico–United States border」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
