Hundreds of illegal migrants are being killed on construction sites around the nation, marking another hidden cost of President Joe Biden\u2019s progressive welcome for cheap migrant labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cForeign-born Hispanic or Latino workers accounted for 63.5 percent (792) of total Hispanic or Latino worker fatalities (1,248),\u201d in 2022, according to a December release<\/a> by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. \u201cFatalities in the construction industry accounted for 316 [or 40 percent] of the 792 foreign-born Hispanic or Latino worker deaths in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The government department will not issue death data for 2023 until after the 2024 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Media coverage of the 719 deaths among working illegal immigrants has been minimal \u2014 especially in comparison to the media\u2019s coverage of the \u201ckids in cages\u201d faux border scandal during President Donald Trump\u2019s four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the huge death toll among illegal migrants was spotlighted<\/a> by a left-wing publication, InThesetimes.com:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhen we come to this country, we want to make money, so we get into sketchy situations,\u201d says Sanchez, who worked for about 15 years in the South since coming to the United States. He has worked at places where they asked for papers and where they didn\u2019t. And that has meant taking jobs where he can slip by. \u200b\u201cWhen we try to work with [white] Americans, there, they ask for a good Social Security card, and if we don\u2019t have one, we die of hunger,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, too, some are teens working in dangerous jobs, like Duvan Tomas Perez, a 16-year-old from a rural Guatemalan village, who died<\/a> last July, while working on the regular cleaning crew in a Mar-Jac Poultry plant in Hattiesburg, Miss. U.S. law bars youths under 18 years old from working in hazardous<\/a> workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the magazine pushed a race-based perspective that downplayed Biden\u2019s policies, as well as the legal and moral distinctions between illegal migrants and Americans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7a97\u4f53\u9876\u7aef<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, Latino workers<\/a> tend to be younger and less experienced, lack training in the job, earn lower wages and work for small outfits, researchers say. They often take jobs in sectors that others avoid. For example, Latino workers make up 55.5% of the nation\u2019s roofers, which had the highest fatality rate in the construction industry in 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Biden\u2019s deputies are trying to improve<\/a> workplace safety for illegals by encouraging their participation in unions, so causing further wage losses<\/a> for ordinary Americans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The article was also silent about the thousands of dead migrants<\/a> \u2014 male and female, adults and children \u2014 who are lured to their deaths by Biden and his deputies. Those deputies, including Biden\u2019s impeached border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, import more workers to please his party\u2019s donors even as they portray President Donald Trump\u2019s safer border policy as immoral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few GOP politicians have begun to spotlight Biden\u2019s rising<\/a> death toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMigrants died in this journey coming here because Joe Biden told them to surge to our border and come into our country,\u201d Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) told<\/a> a March 7 hearing held by the House Committee on the Judiciary. \u201cWhat\u2019s the solution? Seems to me we call timeout,\u201d said Jordan, chairman of the judiciary committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But Democrats dismiss the death toll, even as they slam Republicans for detaining migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur economy needs more workers<\/a>,\u201d Rep. Deborah Ross (D-NC) told the March hearing. \u201cMigrants accept the costs and risks of journeying to the United States because they understand that their labor is in demand here and that employment will be easy to come by.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Democrats and the U.S. media also say little about the mass rapes and sexual violence committed against migrants on their way to Biden\u2019s welcome. On April 4, however, the New York Times<\/em> posted<\/a> an article from their correspondent in South America:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Assault, robbery and rape have long been a grim risk of migrant journeys around the globe. But aid groups working in the Dari\u00e9n Gap say that in the past six months they have documented an extraordinary spike in attacks, with patterns and frequencies rarely seen outside of war zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n In January and February, Doctors Without Borders recorded 328 reports of sexual violence, compared with 676 in all of 2023. This year, 113 came in a single week in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe level of brutality is extreme,\u201d said Luis Eguiluz, the organization\u2019s director in Colombia and Panama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The article was closed to commenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many illegal migrants also die from workplace accidents in GOP-run regions such as Texas, InTheseTimes.com noted:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Texas is one of the most lethal<\/a> states for Latino workers and recorded 269<\/a> deaths in 2022, up from 211 in 2016. Latino people make up 40%<\/a> of the state\u2019s population<\/a>, but they accounted for 47%<\/a> of workers killed on the job in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
