I cannot have any sympathy for these people. Get right down to it and it was their own greed that caused these deaths. The adults wanted American goodies so much that they gambled the lives of their children and lost. Well not everyone lost. The mamacita won the jackpot. Say the word deport and she will cry about the dead. The dead SHE KILLED by bringing them here.
It is un-American and inhumane to try and posture about being callous to this family's loss. These are human beings we are talking about. There is no reason to be a classless scumbag while discussing this topic. If it arouses too many emotions you can't control, go find something else to talk about with other emo-children.
That being said, it is illegal and irresponsible to put oneself as well as others at risk to enter the US illegally. This is a tragedy that could have and should have been avoided. The man is solely responsible for both of their deaths due to a horrifically, criminally stupid decision.
If sorrow at the loss of life isn't your first reaction to this, you are a worthless POS whose interest is NOT in the sovereignty of the United States but the self-indulgent wallowing in hatred.
If you see this terrible loss of life as an 'opportunity' for partisan sniping, you are an empty shell of a human being.
If this sad story doesn't make you realize the vital importance of getting the illegal immigration problem under control, you're just stone-cold stupid.
