The violence of "closed border" policy you don't see: migrants dying in the desert. This is Pima County alone, in June, not the entire US border region or entire year. The following report comes from https://humaneborders.org The number of migrant deaths reported by the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner in June 2026 was 13. Recently found individuals grouped by PMI (Post Mortem Interval): 5 dead less than a day 5 dead less than 1 week 1 dead less than 3 weeks 2 dead more than 6-8 months Total: 13 Updates for previous cases: 3 sets of previously recovered remains were removed from our database because they were found to belong with other sets of remains. 3 individuals were newly identified by name (1,638 cases remain unidentified) Total deaths currently recorded in our database: 4,486.

Prevention Through Deterrence is an official policy started under the Clinton administration that has intensified with every administration since. It is premeditated murder, nothing less. From Wikipedia: "The United States implemented "Prevention through Deterrence" in the 1990s when immigrants crossing the Rio Grande from Reynosa, Mexico attracted the media's attention pressuring immigration officials and politicians to create a new enforcement policy. The idea is to redirect the routes of the migrants into the Sonoran Desert to discourage migrants from crossing. The United States Government relies on the environment of the Sonoran Desert to deter these migrants without much help from the border enforcement agency." But it doesn't deter them and so many die trying to make the crossing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_Through_Deterrence
