Some armless, others hobbling on spindly prosthetic legs, Honduran migrants came to Mexico City this week to protest their plight. Maimed in Mexico when they tried to catch a precarious train to reach the United States, they feel forgotten, ignored and with little reason to live.
“Our visa [to enter the U.S.] is our mutilation, our handicap, our lost arms and legs,” said Jose Luis Hernandez, 29, of Progreso, Honduras. He fell off the train, known here as La Bestia — the Beast — in the northern border state of Chihuahua; caught under its wheels, Hernandez’s leg, left arm and part of his right hand were severed from his body.

Obama will issue them all visas before his term is out. Seriously.
If not visas, then a deal will be worked out where Mexican authorities or some left-wing religious groups will bring them to the U.S. border, where they will say the magic "Asylum" word and be ushered in.

They were just minding their own business when a train just appeared and lopped off their arms.
You know...I just hate it when that happens.

This is terrible. The UN should make Mexico compensate them all for the harm their evil trains caused.
To: MeshugeMikey
Not OUR problem. Their injuries are result of their own stupidity and attempt to illegally enter the US. They should go home to the Honduras and NEVER be allowed in the US.
