A cargo train used by Mexicans and Central Americans to travel toward the U.S. border derailed in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, stranding about 1,300 migrants, emergency services said.

Many of the migrants aboard were young people and nobody was injured when the train nicknamed "the Beast" came off the tracks, a spokesman for local emergency services said.

I wonder what would happen if the US border suddenly became impassable and these people were stranded in Mexico. What would mexico do in this “humanitarian” crisis?

[DickBrannigan]

DISAGREE. We need to kill them before they wind up killing us. I have no moral guilt over the prospect whatsoever.

Something really, really reeks of an organize, planned and approved operation here.

I pray this was not an accident.

Maybe some aerial bombing of these rail lines is in order. All it would take is some drones with hellfires. We can apologize that it was a mistake, like they did when their helicopter gunship fired on American border patrol.

I made the point a while back that maybe we need to hit the rail lines using P-47's, A-1's, A-10's, Corsairs, whatever.

Nope.
“Nobody hurt” I think probably means one car, well back, skipped the track.

[newnhdad]

wait, a train with 1300 people derails and no injuries? If an empty train derailed in DC, there would be 1300 people claiming injuries...

Mexico used to be known for having very tough border laws on its southern border.

This is what I have been thinking through this whole thing. People used to condemn Mexico for criticizing the US not being more humane about illegal immigrants and basically call out their hypocracy regarding their own treatment of those trying to get into Mexico from their southern border.

This whole thing has stunk to high heaven since day one. And our Republicans in congress refusing to actually DO anything speaks volumes.

Something is afoot.

Migrants? Mostly young people...What??!! no "little children?

By using summer vacation empty Public School classrooms as holding pens for the Illegal Hispanic Children Invaders, Obama has insured that these classrooms will not be de-loused and fumigated in time for Public School to start by Labor Day, 2014.

This planned disruption of the normal Public School year was carefully timed to disrupt the Fall Election Campaign, on a number of different topics, not the least of which is to provide a major distraction to numerous Obama scandals, mismanagement, and the total six year failure of the Democrat Party’s Obama as a leader, both Foreign and Domestic.

Did Obama time this Illegal Alien Invasion with the cooperation of the Mexican Drug Cartels, or was this just careful planning by Obama, and staff?

If so, how many US Taxpayer Dollars were paid to these Mexican Drug Cartels?

Should Speaker Boehner begin Articles of Impeachment on Obama before or after OUR children start Public School after Labor Day?

The rail lines can be destroyed with no loss of life or injuries.

Ponder this one....we have been told that this is the product of drug cartels and human traffickers...and yet there must be a very high level of sophistication and coordination to transport 10’s of thousands of these kids from central America to the US Border.

Now we are told that the US Government is incapable of dealing with the situation. So...the DC crowd would have you believe that the most advanced country on Earth does not have the same level of sophistication and coordination that drug cartels and human traffickers have...

Does that come anywhere near to being a rational?

The fix is in folks.

Maybe 0bama will send buses for them.

Something really, really reeks of an organize, planned and approved operation here. Mexico used to be known for having very tough border laws on its southern border. Now torrents of migrants from Central America are openly moving through Mexico and nothing is being done to stop them.

Yes...here’s why:
