Anyways I don't come here too often because it is a sick place.
Made all the more sick by inflammatory posts with no basis in fact about other posters.

It's sad what happened to her. If she and her partner were looking to get out of Guatemala, Mexico would have taken them in.
Excellent point. DC should be fixing the problem so not to further encourage behavior like this. One sides solution would be eliminate borders though, so probably no progress gonna be made.

Huh? First of all, she was a Guatemalan citizen, not an American so she wouldn't be voting here.

Second of all, the age to vote used to be 21, then was lowered to 18 because it was unfair that for 18 year-olds to be drafted and possibly die in Vietnam, yet unable to vote for the politicians sending them to wear.
How do you now know this?

You mean stories like these?

https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/07/u...ids/index.html

That is a wonderful story of 680 illegals getting arrested .

https://www.freep.com/story/news/loc...ts/1513170001/
Michigan: Illegals getting what illegals deserve. Another positive story.

I love stories with happy endings and positive results. Anytime criminals are caught and dealt with it is a win.

She was desperate for that baby to be born on US soil. A lot of people are desperate and do desperate things for the sake of it. Their ambitions are myopic and fantastical. “Get to US, everything in my life will be better”. They aren’t escaping famine or war, they are escaping a life they hear could and should be better. Their acting like careless children, without a grip about their actual lot in life. The fact that it’s occurring by the millions in a much more organized world should be alarming. Any screwball could try and swim all the way from Haiti to Florida, how could we stop them?

Modern day Guatemala, compared with 1910’s Italy is like comparing Switzerland of today with Mozambique. https://www.lifeinitaly.com/history/italy-1900

I’ll say it again and again, this country is full (the planet overfilled), our average carbon footprint is to high to add millions more people. I don’t care if the timing isn’t right for some people. It was going to happen sometime. Stop being ignorant for whatever god knows what selfish reason you have. I have a feeling whatever the reason, it rests on the notion of personal gain, irrespective of the planet.

How nasty can you be - no one is happy to hear of any death let alone a young person. People have to take responsibility of their actions and unfortunately her actions didn't end well but no one here is cheering for the loss of her life and the baby.

Kind of hypocritical when your side thinks nothing of taking lives in abortions.

You always want people to explain or share with you, so I will. I personally have had connection throughout my life, with hundreds of different immigrants (illegal, legal and used to be illegal). The reality of life for the lion share of immigrants coming into this country is almost completely based on having “more than some”. Not more to survive or escape or even more than a little.

I’m sorry, but that reality is wildly out of touch with actual behavior. This woman should never have tried that and people like you need to shut your traps. You don’t get it, people are dying and in our current age, we need borders. This isn’t a few people and includes children.

American’s like you are an arrogant bunch. Speak up on how the drug war destroyed an entire generation of young men and families. If a young man protests and gets arrested indirectly because of it, I wouldn’t blame you for his fate. Why? The young man acted to better his own country, not to burden another for his own gain.
Whoa, went off on a bit of a tangent here now didn’t you? I’m really not sure how the drug war and protesting play into this at all. I don’t believe that I’ve ever weighed in on either of those subjects so you either are mistaking me for another poster or you’re drowning yourself in blind assumptions.

Be easier, if she came as a tourist on a flight, or boat trip, and then just overstayed.
