Um, maybe I'm missing something here. They were "illegal" immigrants, and the U.S. government had nothing to do with their illegal efforts.
"Conditions for immigrants, the humiliations and harassment against them, are massive, grave and unacceptable human-rights violations," said Jose Antonio's cousin, 33-year-old Salvador Villasenor.
Oh, now they're immigrants, as in "legal".
He also said the family planned to allege negligence on the part of U.S. authorities because a Texas dispatcher fielding an emergency cellular phone call from one of the trapped migrants in Spanish was unable to understand it. By the time she found someone to translate, the call had been lost.
"How is it possible that a police operator in a country of (millions) of Hispanics doesn't speak a word of Spanish?" he asked.
Maybe because most Americans speak English? IOW, it's time to cut out the B.S., these are illegal immigrants sneaking into another country and abusing it's sovereignity. Criminy, they have NO rights because they're breaking American law sneaking in, and now it's even demanded that we protect them, speaking their language, while they're breaking our laws.
But that is not exactly true. They are technically illegal but the govt does nothing to stop their efforts in fact it encourages this and the illegals know that they will be welcomed. I actually think the govt does deserve to be sued for ignoring the will of the American people and the constitution and our rule of law. I dont know about you but I dont like corpses lying around the desert.
Or we could do what some amazingly stupid people have suggested and officially tell the 3rd world that we now have open borders.
