re: #6 Sionainn

I don’t have a problem with being disturbed about this story. It’s a misdemeanor crime and we don’t give the death penalty for misdemeanors.

That Arizona desert is a death trap. Interestingly, the main reason it’s become such a hot spot for illegal immigrant crossings is because of increased enforcement at the less treacherous crossing points.

Your stat says at least 249 people were killed. That’s only the bodies they were able to FIND and record. The actual number is likely much higher. The heat and the elements are rough out there, it’s a graveyard of the unknown migrants.

I agree with you about the Border Patrol, but the fact is they have limited resources and manpower with which to police hundreds and hundreds of miles of border.

I see where you’re coming from on the death penalty thing. But he wasn’t sentenced to death, he was deported. It was his choice to attempt to cross illegally again.

Believe me, I TOTALLY understand and sympathize with why he made that decision, but he wasn’t forced to go back. I’m not saying I agree with how he was treated, I’m merely saying I feel considering this a “Death penalty” of sorts is a bit of a stretch.
