Quote
TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico — Police in Mexico's southern Chiapas state found 513 migrants on Tuesday inside two trailer trucks bound for the United States, and said they had been transported in dangerously crowded conditions.

Chiapas state police discovered the migrants while using X-ray equipment on the trucks at a checkpoint in the outskirts of city of Tuxtla Gutierrez.

Some of the immigrants were suffering from dehydration after traveling for hours clinging to cargo ropes strung inside the containers to keep them upright as the trucks bounced along from the Guatemalan border, and allow more migrants to be more crammed in on the floor.

I think it's a masterpiece of modern art, it's a human tetris.  8)

So they said that the immigrants were from 9 different countries... so people migrating to Mexico instead of Mexicans migrating to another country? especially now days that Mexico its really fucked up???  o_O

Come on, it's a no brainer. People from China, Nepal, Central/South America want to go INTO the USA, they go through Mexico.

Another reason could be that they wanna go to Mexico because their current place is actually worse but it's most likely what you said (But hey! There's people from China who come to Argentina to live here with their whole family o_O).

The title migrants is misleading. We have migrant worker programs. It should say illegals.

This is one of the problems with making certain things illegal, it causes some people to be exploited. Every single time it happens. Prohibition, entire cities became exploited. Drugs, entire countries are exploited. Immigrants, it is all the same.

We should just give up with the stupid shit, and have a trade agreement with Mexico that requires them to pay the same minimum wage and have the same building codes and working conditions as we have.

I don't see that happening unless with make a single currency or just take over Mexico. I don't think the Mexicans would be for the latter.

their idea was actually well thought, the jaw dropping shock effect from the x-ray screen will delay the reflex of the border patrol, and give them more time while the officers were frozen in disbelief.
the problem was their low octane truck fuel.
