My number one thought...

I don’t like to see people die. I’m sorry whatever the case.

[iopscusa]

Call the Damn Mexico ambulances to come pick up the wounded and the morticians to come and pick up the stinkin bodies! Then send Mexico a bill for damages and suffering!

How dare you offer prayers for these people, they were illegals, and they and their families have no feelings.

Putting their legal status aside - 19 people and maybe 5 or 6 seat-belts, then - add in a rollover accident and you got a pretty horrific scene.

This little video shot by Fox 9 Investigators - needs to be seen and shared.

Thanks for sharing that.

[DoughtyOne]

Nice. Thank you.

update from same site.

While the SUV was apparently going quite fast, it was not being chased at the time of the wreck.

[txroadkill]

Additional update: 10 injured, 9 dead. total of 19 people in the vehicle.

“DPS said the SUV was traveling north on SR 79 at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control. The vehicle went off the road and into a wash.”

What does a “wash” refer to?

[txroadkill]

There is a video at the link now, looks like it hit the front of a guard rail over a bridge of a dried riverbed

These may have just been Mexican soldiers temporarily “lost” across our border. If not and they were “regular” illegal aliens, the good news here is that the accident happened near Florence, AZ —which just happens to be the location of the State Prison complex. Consequently, the authorities won't have to transport the survivors very far to detention centers.

A wash is like a wadi.

[Towed_Jumper]

“What does a “wash” refer to?”

A “wash” in Arizona is a dry waterway, usually cut through the desert as the result of torrential rains. Once the water drys up, they become topographical “features” in the desert used by wildlife to move through, etc.

If I knew how to post pics on FreeRepublic I'd show you one.

[Canedawg]

Thanks for the responses. Learn something every day.

[Canedawg]

LOL, you made me look up wadi.

Think of the lives that would be saved, illegal aliens and US citizens, if we just stopped them at the border. Anyone who allows this invasion to continue is not humane by any stretch of the imagination.

[DoughtyOne]

Of course you’re right.

These people are exploited by the Mexican Government, the coyotes, the employers in the U.S., the Hispanic advocacy groups, their own relatives in Mexico, both Democrats and Republican leaders for a number of reasons, terrorist and anti-Israeli front organizations, the anti-U.S. globalists, the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition and the many organizations and underground groups it’s tentacles reach into.

That’s why I take note when someone starts saying illegal immigration isn’t that big a deal, or doesn’t pose that big a threat.

It may be the size of a small sedan now but before it crashed it was a Chevy Suburban.
