A cargo train used by Mexicans and Central Americans to travel toward the U.S. border derailed in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, stranding about 1,300 migrants, emergency services said.

Many of the migrants aboard were young people and nobody was injured when the train nicknamed "the Beast" came off the tracks, a spokesman for local emergency services said.

These aren’t migrants - they are illegal aliens.

Let me guess? Mexico is doing next to nothing for them?

Gee... what a shame.

Now they’ll have to walk back to their own countries.

Something really, really reeks of an organize, planned and approved operation here. Mexico used to be known for having very tough border laws on its southern border. Now torrents of migrants from Central America are openly moving through Mexico and nothing is being done to stop them.

I’d call that a good start.

Maybe some aerial bombing of these rail lines is in order. All it would take is some drones with hellfires. We can apologize that it was a mistake, like they did when their helicopter gunship fired on American border patrol.

La Bestia! I was just reading an article in the Spanish press about this. Apparently it derails on such a regular basis (usually no deaths, because I don’t think it ever goes very fast) that it has now become a sport to ride it.

No, Mexico does quite a lot for them. They take a blind eye on the illegals entering their southern border as long as their destination is to cross their northern border. However, if they even think about stopping in Mexico...

Must not have been much of a derailment.

bummer. Glad no one got hurt so they can walk back from whence they came.

Better activate the UN to deal with these “refugees”.

Face it, Obama has probably PAID Mexico to allow passage of these ‘people’. He has PAID Mexico with our tax dollars.

I have to find my tiny violin before I can send them any sympathy.

The violin is so tiny, I keep losing it within the walls of my house.

Rail lines are not trains, but tracks.
