ok I can just imagine people are going to pile on about how idiot it is to hav so many or any in the bed of a pickup truck, but I just watched “Machine Gun Preacher” and when people are desperate, as many are in this part of Texas, you “do what you have to do.”
In Machine Gun Preacher, Sam Childers is trying to save a bunch of kids from being conscripted and used by the LRA in Sudan, but doesn’t have enough space in the pickup, so he leaves a bunch of them for the return ride, but when he returns for them they are all dead.
Don’t you think if there were good alternatives the poor pawns in the Texas pickup would have chosen differently? This is a tragedy and we should pray that these folks’ situations improve.
Let their situation improve south of the border. What part of illegal do you not understand?
No doubt it’s a tragedy....tragedy is what happens when people skirt the law and rely on human merchants of doom. Short answer stay home and change the system that forces this on you. Mexico needs another revolution....the first one did not take!!!
Your "logic" works only if they were facing certain death if they didn't get into the bed of the pickup - otherwise it is just a completely asinine comment.
The individuals charged with the protection of our borders and the value of our citizenship should be held accountable for deaths like this.
Who?
The gangsters that run Mexico (Calderon and his ilk, not the druggies). The Mexican Blancos export labor like the Hessian princes did soldiers......slave labor instead of slave soldiers.
On this side, our own ruling classes buy as many as the Mexicans can ship across.
Both the libs and conservative free traders love these poor faceless people who flee poverty only to be exploited up here for profit (the free traders) or power (the libs).
If illegal immigration threatened either profit or power....it would be stopped in 15 minutes.....but people dying like cattle in the desert crossings or in third world truck pile ups like this.....hey, whatayagonnado, got to have cheap lettuce and more mouths licking food stamps.
