Densely populated area vs sparsely populated area. We should really be comparing deaths per attempted crossing.
This source claims over 100000 people tried to cross the Berlin Wall, and CBP says about 3 million attempted crossings in 2022
That’s about 1400 per million killed in Berlin and about 60 per million killed in the US. Considering one had shoot-to-kill orders and the other is supposed to be a upstanding country, only 20x better really isn’t that impressive.
If anyone can find better numbers, please do recalculate my results, my numbers are what I could find in a few minutes on mobile.
EDIT: corrected Berlin number, I read the wrong one initially
Maybe the fact that the US border is almost 80 times longer than the Berlin Wall has something to do with that?

This seems like solid data to extrapolate. Still shocking numbers of immigrants murdered by US agents when the number should be zero.
Oh so I guess it’s just fine then? /s
That doesn’t mean you need to kill them
