If that is the best you have to offer, you should go away.

Okay, my point is making an “Ellis Island” situation available.

They came here legally because there was an “Ellis Island”to bring them in here as such.You’ve made my point.

Not everyone one who came through Ellis Island was a solid citizen, but at least we had an idea of who they were.Due to current policy and enforcement of federal laws (or lack thereof), you yourself would agree that this is not happening.

[Not so nice] Nice try but sorry, no, the death of any children in this smuggling incident are on the consciousness of their parents or other guardian that brought them along on the border crash.

You want to bring morality into this conversation, then go to Old Mexico and talk Maria, Jose, Juan and Manuel out of voluntarily killing their own children in these border runs.

Anyone arguing for sympathy for these [voluntary] victims in the pickup truck are part of the no-borders-crowd. No borders - into the USA, that is. But not into Mexico from Guatemala....that’s different for sure. Those “immigrants” get their balls handed to them by the Southern Border Mexican Patrols.

“Anyone arguing for sympathy for these [voluntary] victims in the pickup truck are part of the no-borders-crowd.”

No, the children are not voluntary victims.

As for the adults, I reserve the right to feel sorry for people who died terribly, even if they are in a country illegally.

And I oppose illegal immigration. I can talk and chew gum at the same time, too.

I agreee.

I can oppose illegal immigration and still understand why someone would dare try it. This does not make me pro - illegal.

I think if the Feds would do the job the law tells them to do, theis would, hopefully, be a rare occurence.

Do not agree.
The loss of life is tragic and we still can hope for a closed border and a better life in their own country so they do not feel the need to break the law to enter the US. Maybe the countries south of the border (and around the globe)can have their own Declaration/Constition moments?
Let us hope so, so that these incidents are rare.
So I am a dreamer, what would you have me say?
What would we want for all mankind?

Close the border, spread the truth.

It has been fun y’all and it has been enlightening, but this ol’ boy has got to say goodnight.
Happy trails.
One last word of advice:
Don’t drink downstream from the herd.

The Mexican citizens are just dying to get into Aztlan you know. I am glad no American Citizens were harmed by these 3rd world interlopers in their absurd attempt to navigate a clown-car packed with 23 friggen people down our highways.

My daughter lives in Goliad. I don’t care for it. To many wanna-be gangbangers there for my tastes. Love the historical stuff there though. :)

I wonder how many forked over good money to have “reliable” transportation to bring them to houston, or whereever their destinantion was.

Pay good money and not get reliable transportation?

Boy, those illegals ripping us off, really got ripped off eh Ms. Monkey?

I have heard/read of so many illegals, dying to get to freedom....but I also know of many who come here to make mischief, and because of their criminal backgrounds, they survive. Any way you look at it, it is a disgrace. For all countries involved.

America should be ashamed eh Ms. Monkey?

Wouldn't you be better off on some La Raza site?

Ya got at least two illegal alien sympathizers on this thread.

I suggest others read this thread so they can see specifically who they are for future reference.

They are really hard to miss.

You have a nasty attitude. I’m not an illegal sympathizer, no matter what your opinion is. You don’t know me well enough to know how I think, what I eat or who I associate with.

Keep your opinions to yourself. If you want clarification, all you have to do is ask instead of making accusations based on your own biases.

There are many reports of illegals dying in enclosed containers, and not just from across the Rio Grande. We need a wall and we need stricter enforcement on the borders, and if necessary, “profiling” to keep the criminals from taking advantage of the “Christian” groups that provide water mules and maps. They are just as criminal as the people they “help.”

No clarifications needed. All comments were based on your own words, not mine.

Arrogance is a fun thing to see. I especially like implosions.

“Close the border, spread the truth.”

Having sympathy for the dead and wounded in this accident does not mean I don’t want a guarded border and strictly enforced immigration controls.

You’re right, it’s the historical aura that is appealing. Goliad is very small and they have been fighting the military over an old airport they want to use for flight training. They fear the constant noise.

The Missions are wonderful to see, and the ghost stories associated with them, lol.
