Immigration experts say President Joe Biden’s lax border policies — which led to a flood of illegal immigrants surging into the United States — are likely linked to the record number of line-of-duty deaths among Border Patrol agents in 2021.

During the past year, 15 Border Patrol agents were reported as having died in the line of duty. Nearly all those deaths — 13 — were linked to COVID-19. The other two resulted from vehicle-related accidents.
