205 migrants die hard, lonely deaths (Barf Alert)

It is a lonely place to die, out in the soft sandy washes. The desert floor, with its volcanic rock, can reach 160 degrees. Most people go down slowly.

Blood starts to seep into the lungs. Exposed skin burns and the sweat glands shut down. Little hemorrhages, tiny leaks, start in the heart.

[f7Oshawn]

hmmm...maybe they shouldn't come across illegally. What a concept!

[TheBattman]

Maybe they thought life was so bad in Mexico that they had to come here - only to find a hard death in harsh conditions. They made the CHOICE to break the law and invade our country. They should be thankful we don't have the military on the border shooting those trying to cross illegally!

Has in occurred to you that the only thing that distinguishes you from those who dies in the desert is luck?

[Just another Joe]

The open borders are in invitation to disaster.

If the government won't do anything about it the citizens soon will need to.

[f7Oshawn]

huh?

[Bikers4Bush]

This is exactly why we should erect a fence and put armed men on the border.

Not only do they not care about breaking our laws by coming here illegally but they don't understand the dangers either.

I feel bad for the children that are dragged along to die.

[swarthyguy]

Wassamatta? No Christian sympathy for the dead?

Whatever they did, dying like this is horrible.

Methinks You are more deserving of a Barf Alert.

[Just another Joe]

Has in occurred to you that the only thing that distinguishes you me from those who die in the desert is luck common sense?

If you are going to trek across the desert you better make some preparation first. These people don't know what they are getting into. They are just walking and hoping. They know nothing about desert travel.

That's in addition to the fact that the very first thing they are doing is breaking the law of the country they are trying to get into.

..."the bodies of 205 undocumented immigrants were found in Arizona. "

criminal invaders. If they are Al Qaeda, are they still undocumented immigrants?

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

Has it ever occured to you that the only thing that distinguishes you from those who die running across busy interstate highways is luck?

[zerosix]

I have two thoughts after reading this America bashing story:
I thought that one of the reasons for ratifying the NAFTA treaty was to help Mexico and other nations to our south operate businesses so that those to break our laws by coming here for jobs would stay and work at home;
and the word "Immigrant" does not apply in this story - it's called "Illegal Alien."

We must quit allowing lying liberals to infect the meaning of words now!

[f7Oshawn]

So your suggestion would be to create air-conditioned paths into our country??

Bullsh*t. Not a single, solitary one of these souls needs to die of dehydration out in the middle of desert. If they had more respect for our country and the rule of law, they'd come legally across a border station and go through the process of becoming a citizen the proper way. Running out of water wouldn't be a problem.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Yes, there are legal means of entering the U.S., but if you and your children are starving, would you steal a loaf of bread? People in dire circumstances do things they normally wouldn't. These people paid for their actions with their lives, but how many of our forefathers would have taken the same risks?

Maybe you're right though, maybe the Pilgrims should just have stayed home in Merry old England. Afterall, many of them died trying to find a better life.

[swarthyguy]

No, but your attitude and that Stupid moronic "Barf Alert" is very indicative of your mentality.

And don't bust me about air conditioned paths. It's the responsibility of each country to secure its borders.

IF America and her president won't do that, then where does the responsibility lie.

Gloating over the deaths of innocents is pretty sleazy and perverse,

[justshutupandtakeit]

How many of these chortling over the deaths are also moving heaven and earth to prevent feeding tube from being removed from the Lady in Florida?

[zerosix]

Of the few illegal aliens actually caught, officials found that they came from 80 Countries - 14 came from countries we designate as terrorist states!

What in the world is wrong with the people who do not believe in preventing anyone from attempting sucidal behavior being equated as not caring for others?

[August West]

Putting up a fence and stopping them BEFORE they cross the border is the humane solution.

[f7Oshawn]

Times have changed my FRiend...there are legal ways to come into America and enjoy our freedom.
