Bush’s Fault.
One can only hope this gets widespread coverage in the Guatemalan media as a warning to the next contingent.
Uh oh. I see it coming... lawsuits, ‘cause we don’t build man-made sand islands every few hundred yards offshore.
(just as we had lawsuits because we didn’t leave gallon bottles of water every few hundred yards in the desert).
Sad thing.
We can only hope it was loaded with molesters, rapists, and murderers, and not ordinary folks just looking for a better life for themselves and their families.
The RATS keep telling us what a horrible country we live in, and here are people risking, and in this case losing, their very lives, JUST TO GET HERE for a chance to make it.
The RATS are truly filled with venom and evil.
Outright invasion! And our Federal Government is doing little to stop it or discourage it.
A point that we should not miss which can be inferred from the article - Mexico is MUCH stricter with illegals on its southern border than we are on ours, exercising an incredible double standard when complaining about how we restrict their citizens trying to cross into the US.
Seems to me that Guatemalans and others heading north were fine - as long as they traveled all the way THROUGH Mexico on a US-owned and operated rail system. Now that their passage isn't so fluid and they might actually have trouble getting to the northern Mexican border, Mexican officials have begun to give them a much harder time - hence the boats.
Mexico throws fits concerning the "abuse" of theirs trying to get into the US, but Guatemalans et al - don't you dare enter Mexico illegally.
