Transporting illegals is a huge criminal conspiracy. Every single one of them should be put on a chain gang for life.

One more fascinating conundrum in the ongoing information war. Many people, I'm sure, would say "What a tragedy. These poor people are the victims of an insensitive bunch of racist Americans, who have forced them into an "underground" lifestyle in order to move here and make a living".
Another group may say with equal passion, "What a tragedy. These poor people are the victims of an insensitive bunch of racist Mexican elites who are running a society in which the poor people are treated with such contempt, that they have no choice but to leave the country".
Bottom line is, it's a tragedy, and it moves any decent person to pity.
