TAPACHULA, Mexico (Reuters) -A dozen undocumented migrants on Mexico's southern border sewed their mouths shut on Tuesday in a bid to convince the country's immigration authority to grant them passage toward the U.S. border.

The migrants, mostly Central and South Americans, helped each other seal their lips using needles and plastic threads, leaving a small space to consume liquids and using alcohol to wipe away drops of blood from the stitches, Reuters images show.

"The migrants are sewing their lips together as a sign of protest," said Irineo Mujica, an activist at the demonstration. "We hope that the National Migration Institute can see that they are bleeding, that they are human beings.

This is stooping pretty low for illegals

This is pretty crazy. Do we really need more crazy people in this country? We are already reaching a tipping point where the criminally insane are attacking decent people on the street.



It's a shame they don't sew their feet together instead. It would be pretty tough to hop across the border.
