But, you see, that isn't how we do things in this country. That's why we have the moral edge over countries that act otherwise.
We have some morals here. We don't execute petty criminals. Crossing the border illegally is a minor offense in our laws. We don't execute people who do that.
We don't leave drunk drivers who cause terrible accidents to die in their cars, either. We extricate them, try to save their lives, then prosecute them under our laws.
We're a moral people in the United States of America. We treat people with compassion...even those who break the laws. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I suggest that those who would leave illegal border crossers to die in a tunnel are not moral people. I suggest that they do not represent the spirit and morality of this great nation.
If you disagree, then perhaps you'll explain further.
You wouldn't have a problem with that, right?
Who said anything about executing them? It sounds like a couple made it back across the border. We should have stuffed them all back into the tunnel and sealed our end. Let 'em go back to Mexico.
