One of my comments earlier included a comment about migrants being killed in the channel as a result of people smuggling.

Well it has now happened

**Migrants die in biggest loss of life in Channel**

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59406355

27 people have died

@zleap

they're coming for the social benefits

the west hopes to use them to pay taxes already owed

it's the usual comedy of errors of democracy

and diversity is still genocide

@amerika

a few years ago 40+ migrants froze to death in the back of a lorry.

Regardless of why they are coming here, we need to crack down on people smugglers who don't care what happens to them once their money has been handed over.

@zleap

They had a case here a few years back where 40+ got roasted in a truck. In the Texas summer, if you don't have constant air conditioning, enclosed spaces are death traps.

The problem is that the coyotes get paid $10k+ per immigrant to bring them over, and so there's no shortage of coyotes.

It's like the war on drugs.

So yeah by clamp down can mean a number of different strategies. But Inequality is one.

@zleap

I am agnostic on equality, not being a Leftist. This means that I await proof that it exists, is necessary, has benefits, etc.

However, the term we might want here is "differently situated"... meaning that immigrants have little, where our legal system will protect someone who brought them over.
