As you read this keep in mind that we are in the midst of a “national debate” on security and our southern border. Newsweek is reporting that the murder rate is now so high in Mexico that the average life expectancy of Mexican men has stalled. In some states, it has gone down.
The murder rate in Mexico is now so high it has altered the overall life expectancy of men living there. By analyzing cause-of-death data from the Mexican Institute of Statistics, researchers have discovered the staggering impact homicide is having on the nation—with the murder rate between 2005 and 2015 rising by 53 percent compared to the decade before.
Watch as the Left finds a way to blame this on white people.
“This study confirms that homicide is so widespread that even when considering all causes of death, it stands out as a factor in slowing growth in men’s life expectancy,” Hiram Beltrán-Sánchez, co-author of the study, said in a statement. The team also found there was a “temporary reversal” in the average life expectancy between 2005 and 2010.
Findings show that almost every state experienced a reduction in life expectancy because of murder, with Guerrero showing the biggest drop—in this Mexican state, life expectancy was reduced by almost two years between 2005 and 2010.
This is a problem that has been getting worse. And all the while Democrats have worked as hard as they can to keep the border as porous as possible.
Tell me again how Democrats care about border security.
