 <title>Illegal Immigration: Border-Crossing Deaths Have Doubled Since 1995; Border Patrol&apos;s Efforts to Prevent Deaths Have Not Been Fully Evaluated.</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>Reports in recent years have indicated that increasing numbers of
migrants attempting to enter the United States illegally die	 
while crossing the southwest border. The Border Patrol		 
implemented the Border Safety Initiative (BSI) in 1998 with the  
intention of reducing injuries and preventing deaths among	 
migrants that attempt to cross the border illegally. GAO	 
assessed: (1) Trends in the numbers, locations, causes, and	 
characteristics of border-crossing deaths. (2) Differences among 
the Border Patrol sectors in implementing the BSI methodology.	 
(3) The extent to which existing data allow for an evaluation of 
the effectiveness of the BSI and other efforts to prevent	 
border-crossing deaths.</abstract>
