I think we've seen a variation of this article recently, but this is on the front page again today.
"...when the U.S. Border Patrol started its concerted effort to save them."
They should start a concerted effort to keep them out.
Yes, that is when the paper is not using "crossers" or "migrants." I keep posting these articles so everyone can see how illegal is no longer illegal.
THe more the government spends to eliminate a social ill, the more that ill grows. Health care costs, poverty, illegals dying in the desert....
You forgot the BANG!

That always bothers me too. The (Red) Star is the only paper I know of that uses that euphemism. The correct term is ILLEGAL ALIENS.
But then I suppose the Arizona Daily (Red) Star has no agenda in mind, do they?
By the way, those temperatures are in the shade, which there isn't much of in SW AZ.
Entrants??? What is this, a contest?
How stupid is it to try to cross the border in the middle of July?
The numbers are incredible...
I'm reminded of a line in "Dances with Wolves"...
"Now somebody back home is wondering, No why don't he write?"
You'd think that would send a signal back home that...
Don't cross the border!!!
Instead they see and hear of things like...
There's water stations to help you break the law...And that it is unlikely anyone will catch you, so ironically, if you get into trouble, you'll die before someone finds you to "help" you continue to break our law...
Thank goodness it's only entrants dying. I'd be mighty po'd if it were illegal aliens dying.
That was my first thought exactly! Entrants, h311! Illegal trespassing invaders!
Somebody added some AWESOME keywords for me today! LOL.
How stupid is it to try to cross the border in the middle of July?
It's not stupid, skeeter, it's ignorant. The coyotes tell their clients that Phoenix is a short, easy, one day walk after they cross the border. Most of the illegals are just plain ignorant...they don't have a clue what lies before them. Phoenix is 200 miles north of the border.
Oh, cry me a Rio Grande! Stay home, problem solved. Blackbird.
I thought this was about a fishing contest or a beauty contest or something--people paying a fee and signing up to be an entrant in a contest.
"Entrants? ENTRANTS!?!"
Entrants......or
Paper-challenged Water Crossers
Workers Without Borders
Differently Languaged Aqua-people
Southern Friends of Color
Nomads of Color
Mestizo River Friends
