It’s a start - but not a very significant one.
Sorry Iron, but it’s not a start. It’s a tragedy. Dying from dehydration, smugglers and animals is not something I wish on another human being.
I acknowledge that they knew the risks. But, I’d also add that they have good reason to feel that, once over the border, they can find work and have a better life for themselves and their kids. Not all of them are gang bangers and druggies. In my opinion, it’s probably some of the most vunerable who become victms of their less scrupulous Mexican bretheren.
That feeling of safety and security comes directly from the idiots in congress that propose dumb-assed ideas like the recent general amnesty legislation. It comes from Janet Napolitano spendig more time trying to bust Joe Arpaio of Arizona, instead of securing the border. In a way, it’s no different than luring children across a mine field with rewards of paradise on the other side.
No. I reject that 5,000 deaths is a good start for anything. It’s blood, and it’s on the hands of those that push their supposed “good intentions” on the rest of us. Instead of encouraging harmony with our southern nieghbor they incite a response such as your own. Ultimatley, they (Primarily Democrats) are responsible for negligent homicide and the loss of these 5000 souls belong to ther misguided intentions.
I apologize in advance if I misunderstood your comment.
