Illegal alien dies in desert, widow (also illegal) to sue Border Patrol

Juana Garcia, the widow of Idelfonso Martinez Sanchez, who died crossing the Arizona desert in April after being deported, claims the U.S. Border Patrol is responsible for her husband’s death and now wants “justice to be done.”

After a failed attempt at crossing back into the country from Tijuana, Sanchez employed the help of a ‘coyote’ (human smuggler) and began the arduous trek through the Arizona desert on April 20, Garcia recently told EFE.

However, after only one day in the desert Sanchez became ill and the coyote along with the rest of the party left him behind.

On April 26, Border Patrol agents discovered the man’s badly decomposed body on the Tohono O'odham Indian reservation, a commonly used smuggling route for both drugs and human cargo.

Garcia said: “They could have saved him. They let him die worse than an animal - because we're Mexicans and we have no documents they treat us the worst way.”

Garcia, who admitted to EFE that she is also in the country illegally, has five children between the ages of five and 19.

I am sorry your husband is dead.

Now, if you are here illegally, you need to leave my country.

I don’t have anything nice to say, so I won’t say anything at all.

Why is she suing the border patrol? Why doesn’t she sue the coyote who left her husband behind in the desert????

I hate to sound like a cold SOB, but I’m not especially sorry. He called the tune, he paid the piper. He knew what could happen if he tried to enter this country illegally. Suprise, it happened.

This happens all along our southern border. My husband found a human skull on his deer lease in south Texas a number of years ago. Nothing else just a skull.

Shouldn’t this money-grubbing hag be suing the Mexican Government?

How can a woman be the widow of a man who has a different last name? How many of her "children" did the deceased father? How many did he not? Were they all born in the U.S.? Do they all have birth certificates?

When can this woman and her brood leave? I will contribute to the air fare of the entire criminal bunch.

How do you say chutzpah in Mexican?

She knows that she has a chance to make some money from the border patrol ... no chance with the coyote.

It's sad the illegal alien died in the desert but it was his own fault.

It's a lot sadder that illegal alien Juana Garcia is still here in this country filing a frivolous lawsuit.

Illegals or any other criminal should be barred from filing a lawsuit related to injuries sustained as a consequence of their crime.

And the article is unclear as to how the Border Patrol could even be liable. He did not die in their custody. They found his body days after he died.

I don’t have anything nice to say, so I won’t say anything at all.

Ditto....so tempting though. Since you took the high road and clearly more mature than I am, I will follow your lead.

Some lawyer will crawl out from under a rock and take the case.
