Immigrants from Latin America and other countries who went to the United States to find a new life are dying one after another at sea and on land.
On the 28th of last month, five smugglers drowned in waters near Puerto Rico. According to the Federal Coast Guard, a smuggler forcibly disembarked illegal immigrants off the island of Mona, an uninhabited island west of Puerto Rico, and in the process, five people drowned.
The Coast Guard rescued 66 people, including 41 men and 25 women, including two minors, from a boat carrying smugglers.
In Nicaragua, Central America, a bus on a highway crashed down a cliff, killing 13 Venezuelans. According to Nicaragua police, 16 people have been killed and 47 injured in the accident that occurred the night before.
Nicaragua is a region mainly through which Venezuelans who want to go to the United States and other countries to escape the economic difficulties of their country pass.
Until last year, they used to cross the U.S.-Mexico border after flying to Mexico. However, starting this year, as Mexico requires entry visas for Venezuelans, more and more people travel by land through other Central American countries.
