Their deaths are certainly unfortunate and just shows another angle of illegal immigration: the lack of safety that exists as they try to get here. Which is more reason to reduce the flow of illegal traffic at the border. I just read that they were FLEEING a traffic stop ... I don't take back my statement that it sucks that they are dead, but they sure had no business fleeing, but that is quite common. ::SMH::
Human smugglers should be given the death penalty or at least life without parole. No exceptions. These greedy criminals care only about money and how many laws did they break and the lives they risked just for money.
Stuffing vans with illegals is not all that much different than the slave ships, only the illegals are very willing participants -- so lustful of American dollars they are willing to die for it.
Seven arrested in Texas crash that killed nine illegal immigrants
]By Jared Taylor | Reuters – 11 mins ago...
PALMVIEW, Texas (Reuters) - Authorities have arrested seven people, including a 15-year-old boy, in connection with a late-night wreck that killed nine illegal immigrants in southern Texas earlier this week, police said on Friday.
The boy, believed to be the driver who tried to outrun U.S. Border Patrol agents in a minivan overcrowded with 19 illegal immigrants, was tracked down at his rural Hidalgo County home Thursday night, said Chris Barrera, the police chief in Palmview.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement have detained six other people, who now face human smuggling charges, officials said.
In a criminal complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in McAllen, Texas, those six adults were charged with organizing and maintaining an immigrant stash house less than a mile from where the fatal rollover occurred.
The 15-year-old driver lost control of the minivan after he fled a traffic stop by Border Patrol agents, the complaint states. All of the van's passengers were tossed from the vehicle onto a frontage road along U.S. Highway 83 in Palmview, about 240 miles south of San Antonio.
Illegals continue to pour over the border. Easily.
That's because unofficially, our borders have been erased.
