Once A Lawbreaker…

“People here have more important things to do then watch Bush,” said Carlos Amado Luarca, a Dominican monk who works in the shelter. “This plan to send soldiers is one more sign of the decadence of the American empire.”
Along the border in Nuevo Laredo, across from Laredo, Texas, Honduran Antonio Auriel said he would make it into the United States whatever was in his path.
“Soldiers in the border? That won’t stop me. I’ll swim the river and jump the wall. I’m going to arrive in the United States,” Auriel said.
Francisco Loureiro, who runs a migrant shelter in Nogales, across the border from Nogales, Ariz., criticized the plan as an “aggressive action, more than anything because the migrant is not a criminal or a terrorist.”
“His only objective is to work … and a government that supposedly lobbies for world peace is now acting against defenseless migrants who are helping to fill a need for employees in the U.S.,” he said.
Decadence of the American Empire? As opposed to the decadent life that is pervasive in third world crap holes that people are dying to get out of. These people will stop at nothing to come here and insult our good nature and generosity. look at the immigration laws in the backward countries in which they live and tell me how we are the bad guys. We should enforce the same kinds of laws they have in their home countries.
One guy will swim or jump walls, no matter what it takes, to get here. I hope this guy goes through Arizona and gets to spend time in tent city. That might provide the deterrent he needs. Here is a question. If these people will stop at nothing to get here why don’t they try going about it the legal way?
