Immigrant Deaths

I think it is tragic that three immigrants died trying to illegally enter this country (March 7). However, the fault lies not with the U.S. government, as many so-called “immigrants’ rights” activists will claim. The fault lies with the Mexican government for its corruption, which drains the economy of decent-paying jobs; the “coyotes,” for taking money from desperate people; and, lastly, with the illegals themselves. It is not the fault of the U.S. for trying to enforce its borders. Operation Gatekeeper has been very successful, and it is solely the fault of the illegals for trying to enter this country unlawfully.
