If you go camping without the proper gear and put yourself in danger, who’s fault is that?
Freezing temperatures create risk for illegal immigrants
Immigrants who are entering the United States illegally in Texas face a new challenge as winter settles into open desert spaces that many of the new arrivals encounter once they cross the border.
Temperatures in the desert are soon expected to drop below freezing in the nighttime hours, creating risks for migrants as they enter the U.S. However, concerns over coping with the cold also affect border agents and local law enforcement working the desert in Texas and New Mexico who are tasked with apprehending the illegal migrants.
U.S. Border Patrol officials in El Paso have issued warnings not only about freezing temperatures but also about the hazardous conditions migrants face once in the open desert. Once immigrants cross the U.S.-Mexico border into Terrell County, Texas, they face a minimum of 20 miles that they need to traverse.
That’s on them. And the U.S. has to waste time, resources, and money rescuing these people
Arizona bishops express ‘grave concern’ over possibility of migrant arrests at churches
Two of Arizona’s Catholic bishops joined last week with a group of other Christian leaders in the state to express their “grave concern” over “the threat of mistreatment of undocumented persons who are our neighbors and contribute to our communities.”
“While we recognize the lawful right of nations to monitor and control their borders, we also recognize that in many ways our current U.S. immigration laws do not uphold individuals’ rights to a dignified life, family unity, and safety,” wrote a group of 10 Arizona Christian leaders in a Dec. 28 AZ Central column.
They have those rights. In their own nations. If the bishops do not want them arrested at the churches then the churches should not be shelterin illegal aliens in contradiction of federal law.
Suspects detained in killing of Mexican immigration agent
Three suspects are in custody for allegedly killing a Mexican federal immigration official on the outskirts of Jua?rez.
The Mexican National Migration Institute reports that the suspects are migrants, two from Venezuela and one from Colombia. They were arrested in a joint operation by federal and State of Chihuahua authorities, hours after the body of the immigration agent was reported around 1 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 30.
The attack happened Monday near a checkpoint just south of Jua?rez along the Pan-American highway in an area known as Precos-Samalayuca, around 30 miles south of the U.S./Mexico border where many migrants arrive on the northbound train.
The attack was provoked after the agent asked for the migrant’s documentation, according to Mexican immigration officials.
They beat him to death. Perhaps Mexico will finally understand that it is a bad idea to allow all these bad people to trek through Mexico?
There’s a simple solution for the illegals crossing our deserts in the winter: stay at home!
