What do you want us to do? Make illegal immigration illegal?
A tragedy, but I think you’ll find less outrage over these deaths because everyone knows conditions for those crossing the border are appalling and dangerous, deliberately so.
But there’s a societal expectation that when we send our kids to school, they aren’t going to come home in a casket. It hits closer to home for any parent of a child.
Anywho - Aren’t “cautionary tales” like this the right-wing argument anyway? That being cruel at the border will deter illegal immigration? That in the long run, tragic deaths will “save lives?”
So spare me your crocodile tears. Y’all don’t care about these people in the slightest. Right-wing militias say illegal border-crossers should be shot on sight. This isn’t any different.
