[Regarding border-crossing immigrants that die trying to get into the country]
I look at it this way, that's just how many fewer that we have to educate, medicate, incarcerate and accommodate. Plus whatever progeny they have.
Too bad it's not THOUSANDS. The numbers should be so high that it discourages the crossers.

Arn't these the people who belive that freedom is the best thing about america (Except Freedom of religion, education, etc... but those arn't important), and yet they condemn people who seek this "freedom" which is so precious?
Tindalos:
It's not that we condemn those who seek that freedom ... it's more that we condemn those who are doing it illegally. There are legal channels for getting into the US. Try those, and I'll welcome you with open arms. Come here illegally, on the other hand ... minefields along the Rio Grande aren't such a bad idea.
Did you know that there's an entire section of the Mexican government which is dedicated to teaching people how to border jump? No shit.
Personally, I think that if so many Mexicans want the same life we have here, maybe they should try fixing their own damned country!
TDR-
About the minefields, yes.
About the rest of it - absolutely not. If you want to come here, do it legally. If you don't want to do it legally, then fuck you, stay home, and fix your own damn country.
If the US really wants to stop illegal immigrants, maybe they should cut it out with the flag waving for a while. Do what the australians did - send negative propaganda out to places that refugees come from telling them about the poisonous snakes and spiders and sharks and crocodiles. Nature's landmines.
Of course! Just stand on the wall of Fortress America and laugh at the subhumans trying to save their lives! That's what the wall is for, to keep out lesser beings... anyone who isn't us!
Jesse Custer should try being an illegal immigrant for a while. His legalistic bullshit would quit almost immediately, I guarantee! Typical entitled North American straight white male, blissfully ignorant of the mountains of obstacles placed in immigrants' way by the wonderful Rethuglican government you fucking morons just strengthened! Do you stupid assholes want to be slaves to the rich? Apparently you do, America! As long as there are others worse off for you to point and laugh at, you don't care how far you sink!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
