What's Next, Handicapped Access for Physically Challenged Illegal Immigrants?

What's Next, Handicapped Access for Physically Challenged Illegal Immigrants?
It's never safe to say you've seen or heard it all. The families of illegal aliens who perished in the desert are suing the United States Government for not supplying water stations that might have saved the criminals lives. It seems that the INS has concentrated its enforcement in areas where it is actually possible to cross on foot. They have posted few agents where the terrain makes it impossible to cross. According to the plaintiffs, this strategy is forcing the illegals to attempt crossing the border in these hot dry areas. If they're going to do that, say the lawyers, then they should provide water stations for them.
"What these agencies knew — or should have known — is that by doing this, and with a history of deaths in the desert, these people would cross in these dangerous areas," said A. James Clark, one of the two Yuma lawyers filing the claim. "It would have cost the government nothing to put water stations in, as it had done in other locations."
What these dimwitted attorneys can't understand is that, if there were water stations in the desert, then all the INS would have to do would be to place guards near the water and then they could round up the crooks when they came to get a drink.
Oddly enough, the lawsuit does not hold accountable the smugglers who sent these people into the desert where they died. What does that tell you about how much they really care about the illegals?
