Border Patrol finds 5 bodies in Arizona desert
Source: AZCENTRAL.COM

TUCSON - U.S. Border Patrol agents say they have recovered the bodies of five people in southern Arizona believed to be illegal immigrants.

Agents say the bodies were found in five separate incidents Tuesday in the vast Sonoran desert that also resulted in the rescue of 36 illegal immigrants.

A Tucson Sector search team rescued 12 illegal immigrants and found one person dead, possibly from dehydration.

Ajo Station agents say they found one body three miles north of the Lukeville Port, and Casa Grande agents discovered a set of human remains in the West Desert.

Why the Eff doesn't the Mexican government do something to prevent this from happening to their people? If these poor people were U.S. citizens dying crossing our border to another country there would be hell to pay!

I mean what the Fu_k are we in Arizona supposed to do about this? What the hell kind of law are we supposed to pass? I'm at wits end. Nobody can justify this kind of abuse at all. These are HUMAN BEINGS for the Christ sake.

Eff you Mexico! And the corrupt society you are.

1. How about Eff You Arizona, for arresting people who put water
caches in the desert so that the economic refugees fleeing into the state don't die of thirst.

7. One rancher...
Did put out water and he was repaid by having his livestock killed for food. When he discovered a drug drop on his ranch and reported it, he (and his dog) were found shot dead.

Arizonans are tired of finding these safe houses that are anything but....filled with illegals with little food or water and no sanitation. They really want to go after the smugglers because it is so dangerous for those they smuggle but the Mexican government would rather not acknowledge the corruption in their government and blame the US. The US is enabling the trafficking of guns and drugs that kill the border patrol agent. The folks in Arizona are sick of it. You can't even go in some national parks anymore for all the dangerous activities. Shoot out in broad daylight on public streets are becoming too common.

Just came back from visiting Mom. It was 116 one day. Only those with little reguard for human life would traffic folks through the desert in those conditions. That would not be the Arizonians, btw.

2. It's US policy that is creating the situation
it's a kind of genocide so that corporations and other Americans can steal their land.

3. Also a symptom
ultimately the problem lies with Mexico. Are Canadians willing to risk death to sneak into the US in great numbers? Nope.

9. Has NAFTA devastated the Canadian economy and forced millions
of Canadian subsistence+ farmers to abandon their land because they can't compete with US industrial agriculture interests? Is Canada undergoing what is nothing less than a civil war between anarchic drug cartels and a government that doesn't have the resources to deal with them? Are average wages in Canada less than 10% of the average wage in the US? Would a Canadian who DID enter the country illegally (and there ARE a shitload of them) stand out as being an 'other' (other than being a little too polite)?

Nobody WANTS to abandon their homes, their families, their culture to move to a country with a different language, different religious base, different mores, where they have no legal standing. These people are refugees, not invaders.

How can you compare Mexico and Canada with a straight face?
