Truck crash kills 1, hurts 15. Carried illegal entrants; was fleeing police. (Illegals again!)

We've had local hospitals that have had to close ER's, close maternity services all because of this very problem. Hijinx's better half works for a local hospital and has tales to curl what little hair you may have on your head on this.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Jeeez, just the helicopter bill is going to be skyhigh, never mind the hospital bills :-)

Who's paying for all this? Oh, nevermind...

[TheSpottedOwl]

Should have let the rest die in the wreck, taped it all, and sent the DVDs to every news outlet in Mexico as a warning.

If their media operates like ours does, those tapes would never see the light of day. After all, can't be scaring the peasants, who will be sending millions of dollars back to Mother Mexico, can they?

[JackelopeBreeder]

Well at least this time they didn't kill and maim a bunch of the local citizens.

I'd still like to see a follow-up on that last incident. We know who paid the tab on the illegals. But who paid for Jim and Emilia's funeral? Who paid the medical expenses on the dozen American citizens who were severely injured?

[conservativeharleyguy]

So now it's illegal "entrants"? How much more can the press water this down?

[SandRat]

I don't even have to ask to know that it wasn't the State or Mexico or el Zorro. Hell I'd be surprised if el Zorro even sent flowers and a not of apology.

[SandRat]

Hey! That's an improvement and movement towards our side from "undocumented migrant."

[janetgreen]

Ol' Vicente would sh** a brick if our President had the courage to send the bills to him and demand payment...

I'm dreaming - he doesn't.

[rodguy911]

You suppose they all have blue cross/blue shield?Or will they just write a check when they leave the hospital? Oh, yeah, I forgot. Vicente Fox will be picking up the tab, won't he.

[SandRat]

I'd like to have the bills hand delivered via another Gen "Black-Jack" Pershing Punitive Expedition to el Zorro.

[janetgreen]

el Zorro

The President doesn't want to offend his buddy el Zorro. He would rather American taxpayers foot the bills, which are in the billions. He sure isn't afraid of offending us.

[Old Professer]

Illegal entrant?

Sounds like they caught a cat in a dog suit at Westminster.

[JackelopeBreeder]

Hell I'd be surprised if el Zorro even sent flowers and a not of apology.

Yep, highly doubtful. But then again, none of our own politicians said word one about the incident.

[Righter-than-Rush]

This nation is going into the sh!tter. No nation has ever come back from where we are to live again.

[citizen]

Just look at the cost of this one incident to society:

Stolen vehicle + insurance costs, LEOs time & expenses, many chopper flights, treatment of injuries especially three requiring trauma center treatment, legal & court costs, feeding & housing the criminals for some period of time -- all at taxpayer expense.

Send Vicente Fox the bill!

[citizen]

Oh, right, I forgot to put the criminal's funeral or flight home for same on my list of costs to society...

[JackelopeBreeder]

From the last major crash. Two dead Americans, four Mexicans. Twenty-five injured; fifteen had to be flown out to the trauma centers in Tucson and Phoenix.

The coyote and driver are being held on death penalty charges, but I expect the government will pussy out and let them cop a plea.

[SandRat]

Still a better description than "undocumented migrant" which used to be the PC description de jour.

[SandRat]

Send Vicente Fox the bill!

Send it? I want it hand delivered to el Zorro by a new Gen "Black-Jack" Pershing at the head of a 2nd Mexican Punative mission into Mexico!
