OK perhaps you're right that the will of the people is being ignored.

But why does the anger focus on these people and not the ones who hire and use them.

Doesn't say a lot for representative democracy, does it, if the will of the people is so easily thwarted.

Anyway, doesn't lessen the tragedy of these people dying horribly. But, it's no big deal. Lots of people die in agony all around the world every day.

I have yet to figure that one out. I agree, the anger should be focused at Washington, not Mexico, unless your speaking of the Mexican Government, which is just as bad as ours.

No it doesn't.

Yes they do, and there deaths have nothing to do with this topic.

The will of the people, the rule of law and the constitution.

I would like jail time for employers. This would end alot of the problem almost overnight and very few employers if any would actually go to jail.

It sure is insulting isnt it?

But these are dying because of the problems our govt has created.
