You go ahead and provide a source for your 300 deaths/day. My 72,000 deaths/year is from here who are citing the CDC.
I did provide my source. My source quoted from the CDC who printed the number in 2017.
Ah, you edited while I was working on my response. Fair enough, I still don’t think a wall will dent those numbers in the slightest.
Like I wrote in the "Wall," thread, it will not eliminate it.
But it will curtail it.
I work in a prison.
WALLS WORK to curtail drugs and all forms of contraband/illegal property and illegal movement.
So, you can take that from an expert.
Janitors also work in prisons, if you want me to take you as an expert I will need more than that.
I fail to see how what I do in a prison makes a difference, but I have performed a wide range of duties, from correctional officer up to and including assistant warden.
Also, conflating the effectiveness of a wall for a prison versus a nation seems to be a terrible idea.
Aside from just stating, "...seems to be a terrible idea." how about clearly stating HOW or even WHY it is a terrible idea.
I am not denying that walls work TWO WAYS.
I am also not unaware the corporations who benefit highly from freedom of movement/relocation seem to be immune from scrutiny when they do so.
Generally, I am for LEAST RESTRICTIVE ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE for every human; HOWEVER...
With that amount of freedom comes responsibility.
Do we act to curtail the bad actors or not?
The DOJ study, “Characteristics of Suspected Human Trafficking Incidents, 2008-2010,” reported 2,515 cases from 2008-2010. That is not victims obviously but this State Department report cites 10,000 victims in the entire Western Hemisphere. Victims would seem a more appropriate measure of the problem over “cases” or “people involved” as neither of those deal with specifically the people being harmed.
Citing a nearly 10 year old article is not very helpful!
But I can understand if it is your only crutch when disabled. You got to lean on something.
And I quote Harvard Law. June 27, 2018 Stephen Wood Criminal Law, Human Rights, International, Stephen P. Wood
Yes, I saw. It doesn’t identify victims, merely “people involved”. Seems a poor way of showing how many victims there are. The State Dept has identified 10,000 victims in the entire Western Hemisphere last year.

And I fail to find that number in your source.

P. 68, meant to include that before. There is a chart, with a column titled “victims”.
Thank you, I will look at that now.
I see. Here is the footnote to that data, emphasis mine:
"The above statistics are estimates derived from data provided by foreign governments and other sources and reviewed by the Department of State.
Aggregate data fluctuates from one year to the next due to the hidden nature of trafficking crimes, dynamic global events, shifts in government efforts, and a lack of uniformity in national reporting structures. The numbers in parentheses are those of labor trafficking prosecutions, convictions, and victims identified."
I think it is evident many of those governments have faulty reporting, in many cases due to outright complicity in the practice of human trafficking and abuse itself (including former officials in US Government, about to be held responsible and pay the price!)
