Crossing the Mexico US border illegally nowadays involves a multi-day hike through the desert and is extremely dangerous. I’m not sure if it’s as dangerous as crossing the Mediterranean on a smuggler boat, but many people do die making the trek from Mexico to the US.

Not saying it's safe. But it's not the worst.

Also one should keep in mind the danger people subject themselves merely to go the last hop from France to UK.

That's a long way to say that the upstream comment was reading too much into this metric.
