With an increase in border control, there have been many more deaths which increases the danger of crossing the border. Therefore, undocumented immigrants who have to face the increased border control are putting their life at risk to cross the border. Documented immigrants do not have to put their life at risk and sneak across the border to get into the U.S. Since undocumented immigrants have to risk their life to sneak into the U.S. whereas documented immigrants do not, it is possible to conclude that undocumented immigrants are positively selected on risk-taking compared to documented immigrants. I would test this hypothesis by conducting a survey where I would ask questions to undocumented, documented, and non-migrants. I would ask questions such as “how does the increase in death at the border influence your decision for immigrating documented or undocumented or even though immigrating undocumented is riskier, why did you do it?” I hypothesize through this data we would find that undocumented migrants are more likely to take risks by crossing the border than documented
