SONOITA, Ariz. — Ten undocumented immigrants "stacked like wood" in the back of a sports utility vehicle crammed with at least 22 people were killed when the driver lost control and rolled over on a remote southern Arizona highway, authorities said Sunday.

I was so surprised when I read the story... Okay... No I wasn't.

Either way it's incredibly annoying even Fox calls them undocumented immigrants. I hate this happened, but they are illegals. ILLEGALS! Not undocumented. This kind of thing would not happen if they just respected our laws. That's the real issue. They respect neither our country nor our laws and they are gradually taking over. No racist slant here. I just love my country and I hate to see it go.

[omega4179]

Yeah we don’t provide documents to illegal aliens! ONLY legal!

[upchuck]

Geeze, even Fox News can't bear to use that truism, that evil, evil word,
ILLEGAL!

[Ken522]

I wonder if the driver had insurance? He’s certainly going to need it ...

[freespirited]

I hate this happened, but they are illegals. ILLEGALS! Not undocumented. This kind of thing would not happen if they just respected our laws. That's the real issue.

Another issue is who pays for all the medical care. You had people airlifted to hospitals and rushed by ambulance ... it costs a pretty penny and you know who gets to foot the bill.

Wow 22 peeps in an Explorer. Sort of like a circus clown car.
Of course the 12 that survived are now part of Baraq’s 47 million people without health insurance......

“Wow 22 peeps in an Explorer. Sort of like a circus clown car.”

When I was a kid we got 22 people into a Buick Regal for a contest on who could get the most folks to church. There were 6 in the trunk and we changed drivers mid-trip.

We were stupid kids. These were stupid adults.

There is a difference.

[Secret Agent Man]

They are illegal immigrants/illegal aliens. We must continue to use these terms, they are the most accurate terms possible.

And I’m sorry, I don’t feel much for people who think our immigration laws are NOTHING they need to worry about.

[SandRat]

this is close to home.

[angelcindy]

illegals!!!! call them what they are

[Iron Munro]

Now they’re really stacked like wood.

[Niteflyr]

Illegal Mexicans invaders...I don’t even like “illegal immigrants” because we know what they are so why lie about it? You aren’t an immigrant unless you are invited legally. Jumping over a fence in the dark does not an immigrant make.

[Cheetahcat]

How much is this going to cost the US taxpayer?

[KC_Conspirator]

Illegal Aliens for crying out loud!

[maggief]

In this photo released by the Arizona Department of Public Safety shows an overturned 2000 Ford Excursion early Sunday, June 7, 2009 on a remote southern Arizona highway. Ten undocumented immigrants "stacked like wood" in the back of a sports utility vehicle crammed with at least 22 people were killed when the driver lost control and rolled over, authorities said Sunday. Authorities said all the victims are believed to be undocumented immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Equador and perhaps Mexico.

[Niteflyr]

oops... one too many s’s...:o)

[null and void]

Yeah we don’t provide documents to illegal aliens! ONLY legal!

Show us the real birth certificate...

[Niteflyr]

undocumented immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Equador and perhaps Mexico.

OK..."Illegal Latino Invaders" then....but just the same...bottom feeders from third-world crap hole countries looking to break and enter the land of Obama freebies...

[omega4179]

Maybe the real one does not and never did exist? I just thought of that.

[ought-six]

“They (the illegals) respect neither our country nor our laws and they are gradually taking over. No racist slant here. I just love my country and I hate to see it go.”

That’s a fact, and ditto.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

22 illegals weighing 150 pounds each in a 2000 Excursion with a lot of miles and likely bad tires is 3,300 pounds on top of the 4,500 pounds the vehicle weighs.

I believe that is called a recipe for disaster.

[HiJinx]

Right around the corner.

Did you hear about the Burundians that were killed last week, on their way to work at the farm in Willcox? Evidently they were legals, I wonder if they hired an illegal driver to get them there...?

[ex 98C MI Dude]

Kick in the winds we have been having, and an overloaded high profile vehicle becomes a death trap.

[ikka]

Look at the picture in post 15; compare the rear tire and the front tire (which looks normal). My guess is a blowout or some other kind of failure on the tire caused the SUV to go out of control.

[HiJinx]

Winds could have done it. It was way overloaded. My first thought was in the hills up toward the northern end of AZ83. Then I realized it happened pretty much right there in Sonoita.

[TXnMA]

" Ten undocumented immigrants CRIMINAL INVADERS..."

Fixed it...

[pointsal]

public defender...bail... Bingo he’s a goner off to Baja

[VoiceOfBruck]

Indians scattered on Dawn’s Highway bleeding,
Ghosts crowd the young child’s fragile eggshell mind.

[DHSMostWanted]

It does not surprise me that the vehicle was packed. I used to word at an aluminum factory that got in the practice of hiring illegal aliens. I had seen a Corolla packed with 8 of them after I got off one night. The car past me going easily over 60 on a 45mph road. They pack 6-12 per one bedroom apartment in Overland Park, KS saving their money to send back or take back to their country when they like.

[Old Flat Toad]

Overloaded slaver ping!
Is the BIG Border Patrol station still there ,south of the gas station. My last trip to Patagonia lake saw Sheriffs and BP every few hundred yards. That was @4 years ago. Where are they now?

Look at the tires in that photo. The left puppy is blown and shredded from overloading heat, not the crash. The right isn’t far behind.

5 dead of 17 last week, 10 dead of 22-27 this week. How long till the next one?

[Right Wing Assault]

The SUV pretty well kept its shape. Roof is not caved in much. Of course all those bodies probably prevented some of the damage.

[Inyo-Mono]

Always loved the Doors.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[barb-tex]

This proves once again that the EVIL SUV should be banned. At least OM wont be making anymore Suburbans or Hummers

Let me be the first to wish a speedy recovery to those injured and God’s comfort to the families of those who died. It is not their fault that they were born in third world sh*tholes without the decent opportunities available in a free market economy. And it is not right to blame the victims for merely taking advantage of an opportunity offered by a country which won’t enforce their own immigration laws and provides plenty of incentives for third worlders to just come here rather than try to improve on their homeland. Under similar circumstances, most of us would try the same thing.

[Marine Inspector]

a country which won’t enforce their own immigration laws

That's weird! I've been enforcing this countries immigration laws for 11 years and there is not 1 that we don't enforce!

[SandRat]

Heared that and who knows.

[Vigilanteman]

Kudos to you sir, and I wish there were more boder patrol like you. But don’t shoot a drug smuggler in the butt or Johnny Sutton will have you tossed in the slammer.

[taxesareforever]

Homeland security will now jump in upgrade the road in order to make it a more pleasant ride.

[OldMissileer]

Wow 22 peeps in an Explorer. Sort of like a circus clown car.

You took the words right off my keyboard!

The illegals here in Northern Virginia pile out of their 15 passenger vans and file into the convenience stores in the morning to buy things then they pay by pulling a large wad of $100 bills out of their pockets and get mad if the cashier does not have change for the large bill.

I always call these vans the illegal clown cars since they are packed tight with them.

The hospital handling this emergency will probably close over the cost of the 12 survivors. Head injuries, physical therapy, disability......thanks to Uncle.

Not to mention the unfortunate ones. Besides the tragedy, I understand we have to locate their families, ship them home, face law suits for violating SOMEONE’s supposed rights...you get the picture.

[AuntB]

“5 dead of 17 last week, 10 dead of 22-27 this week. How long till the next one?’

This is purely my observation,but I swear I see about one of these a week in the NAFBPO reports.

What's even weirder is you can now go to any city or town in the U.S. and perform your job.

Must be tough hooking up a suspect while 30 others run by you.

[TigersEye]

They are illegal immigrants/illegal aliens. We must continue to use these terms, they are the most accurate terms possible.

Illegal alien is a proper legal term for people who enter a country unlawfully. There is no emotional content to it other than what culture of victim hood hustlers project on it. It is simple legalese.

[azhenfud]

....Fox calls them undocumented immigrants.

Well, they're documented now.

[azhenfud]

A right rear “MayPop Tire” blew out. A suit is impending against the makers of the Exploder and the MayPops.

[Marine Inspector]

But don’t shoot a drug smuggler in the butt or Johnny Sutton will have you tossed in the slammer.

I'm not worried about the Johnny Sutton's of the world and I probably won't shoot a suspect unless they are facing me!

[Marine Inspector]

What's even weirder is you can now go to any city or town in the U.S. and perform your job.

That's not weird. You could have done that 15 or 20 years ago. The only difference is that back then nobody cared!

Come on Inspector, you remember prop 197 way back in 1994

California Proposition 187 was a 1994 ballot initiative designed to prohibit illegal immigrants from using social services, health care, and public education in California. It was overwhelmingly passed by the voters. Only to have the federal government and their state government co-conspirators burn the ballots and declare the free election illegal.

Millions here on the west coast cared, but few in the rest of the country paid attention to what was happening.
