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.

@amerika Did they arrest the truck driver or a person responsible ? What was the punishment if any?

@zleap

Also... this is tedious but maybe you'll bear with me

They have to prove either knowledge of negligence

"The air conditioner was working the last time I looked at it" is often a killer here

Innocent until proven guilty.

@amerika

Well yes, you need to fully investigate if nothing else to ensureit does not happen again.

@zleap

In my view, it's always going to happen.

There's people here with enough to survive but no real wealth, and right across the border is piles of money being handed out by credulous morons brain-locked by democracy.

People are going to cross unless the cost of crossing is massively raised.

@amerika @zleap Shoot a few of them and it would stop very quickly and save lives in the long run.
