More than 500 migrant fathers and sons detained in Texas after being separated from each other for weeks and months have launched a strike against unfair conditions.

The fathers plan to resist orders and refuse food at three sites at Karnes detention center, while the sons are set to refuse to participate in school activities. The demonstrators are asking US officials to expedite their immigration cases {snip}

I guess in their home countries striking is a way to manipulate government, but we don't do that here.

Saves money on food. If they should crap out, no need to deport. More savings.

It really should be a felony for a first offense illegal border crossing or visa overstay.

What is it about these illegals that does not allow them to understand they broke our laws as their first act of being in our country? Are they really that stupid or dumb? Don’t they have laws in their own country? Maybe the entire concept of laws is beyond their understanding. If so they definitely came to the wrong country.

Historically, border-jumping would get someone executed as a spy.

No problem. Here, you can have your deportation order now.

Probably American community organizers told them this tactic will reunite them faster. Time to send them home united.

somewhere in the cobwebs of my memory, and I may be wrong, but I think that illegals who protest or participate in acts of insurrection against the govt are committing a felony, subjecting them to immediate deportation with prejudice. Or maybe that’s just in Messico, Guatamala and Honduras.

If the criminals starve to death, throw their bodies into the deep ocean. Fish have to eat too.
