Who’s to Blame for Migrant’s Death?
- Share via
I am sick to death of hearing about each and every one of the deaths to migrant farm workers crossing the border. Though it is a shame and a travesty that this kind of thing is happening, I am tired of getting the blame, as an American citizen, and footing the bill.
I must admit that the government is at fault, though not in the way most feel. Most minority rights groups feel we as a people are at fault for enforcing our immigration laws and attempting to stop the flow of illegal immigration, yet this is not the problem.
The reason we have such a huge illegal immigration problem is money. Cash is the carrot leading the wave over the border. If we remove the carrot, the deaths will stop as well as the illegal immigration. And, the only way to achieve this is to punish severely the Americans who are offering the carrots.
