The U.S. Border Patrol has announced that 460 migrants died in the last year while trying to cross the border, breaking the previous record of 393 in 2000. The Patrol said the passage was made more threatening by the higher temperatures and the new routes through arid deserts that migrants are now taking after other points of entry had been closed off.
