There have been many reports of the catch and release policy of the Border Patrol regarding illegal immigrants. These orders have been given by the Obama administration.
Another reason, the Border Patrol needs to crack down at the borders: From the Victoria Advocate:
Twelve people were killed and 11 injured in a one-vehicle wreck in Goliad County near the Bee County line.
The 2000 Ford F-250 extended-cab pick-up truck, which was heading
toward Goliad, struck a tree about three miles south of Farm-to-Market
Road 1351 about 6:30 p.m., Department of Public Safety troopers said.
The right front tire appeared to have lost its tread about 300 yards
before impact. The driver veered to the right side of the road and
crashed into the trees, said DPS Lt. Glen Garrett. The highway's speed
limit is 75 mph and Garrett said the truck was traveling at least that
fast.
Of the 12 who died, six were inside the cab. Five of the passengers
who were riding in the bed were killed after they were ejected, said
Trooper Gerald Bryant.
The top of the extended cab truck had to be cut away by firefighters from Goliad and Beeville.
"It was not a bloody scene, which indicates they died on impact," Bryant said.
The injured and deceased were men, women and children with the youngest being about 8 years old, Bryant said.
Officials said they appeared to be illegal immigrants, but they were
not sure what country they were from. U.S. Border Patrol agents were on
the scene.http://www.victoriaadvocate.com/news/2012/jul/22/jp_goliad_fatality_072312_183108/?counties
Any time you have 23 people in a pick up truck, you are asking for trouble.
If they stayed in their own country or if they were turned back at the border, they would still be alive today.
RIP, though.
