re: #19 Aceofwhat?

They interviewed a woman (German born US citizen) whose husband was deported and then died trying to cross the canal. It’s not the “coyotes” that killed him. Over 500 people (including one US border guard trying to save his dog) have died in the canal in the last year or so. There are no safety features…period. Canals are death traps. When I was a kid I wanted to go fishing in one in town near my dad’s office…he about shit bricks explaining to me that I was never to go near the canals.

Oh, and the government did fund an expensive project to save lives on the canal…they netted and used cranes to lift fish over the dams.
