“Edith Rodriguez and Edith Rodriquez alone killed her son”
As a matter of fact, shouldn’t she be charged with murder? He did, after all, die as a direct result of a crime.

===========================
EXACTLY!

Correct me if wrong, but wouldn’t ANY AMERICAN who locked a child in a car in Ariona, for instance, in which the child subsequently died (or was injured) as a result of CHILD ABUSE, be prosecuted for a felony?

Why not “poor” Edith Rodriguez?

Rodriguez is a felon. SHE killed her son! And she belongs in prison.

Who killed Edith Rodreguez’s son?…

Apparently some people aren’t quite sure. It doesn’t seem like much of a mystery to…

Just in case anyone thinks this is a partisan issue, The WSJ only cares about the bottom line and sides with the illegals or more precisely, business. None of the official gubmint hacksters,left or right, who are on the take from business give a damn about what 80% of Americans want or need. All their rhetoric is there to cloud the issue and get us fighting among ourselves. Oh yeah, and if anyone thinks it will take a terrorist infiltration from the south to wake up the hacks then you can expect a coverup instead.

Really man, what is up with this post? You go from talking about some child who dies in a border crossing attempt, and all of a sudden you veer off into this “woe is me, it is all hopeless and there is no point in going on, does it even matter?”

Tell me I’m wrong. Smack me upside the head with a good dose of anger and defiance. Call me a misinterpreting idiot. But drop the woe is me stuff. If I wanted to hear about how hopeless things are, I’d hang out with a bunch of over medicated, over paid and over educated pseudo intellectuals who do nothing but read “Prozac Nation” and watch “Girl, Interupted.”

Heck, maybe I misinterpreted it. If so, feel free to let me know that I am dead wrong. Come on, you are Allahpundit, who does not suffer fools gladly, known and feared throughout the blogosphere…

Yes, it matters. Show some spine, man. Suck it up and drive on.

ForYourEdification…sigh…
Sadly, you are right.

Where was Bush today when there is a critical election in California? Instead of help us he was at New Mexico explaining why his amnesty plan is not really an amnesty plan.

sigh….it must be the 666 working today…

I think Gateway Pundit once figured out that the murder rate in Mexico exceeds the death rate for attempting to cross the border:

So I guess we can say that encouraging people to risk their lives by crossing border actually saves lives, huh?

I am waiting for the liberals and ACLU to demand us sending air conditioned buses to pick up the illegals at the border and escort them to their safe haven in LA!

I am expecting the demand anytime now.

Tragic. That said, there are two well known axioms:

1) You are responsible for your actions
2) Before you act, remember that for every act there are consequences. Sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Anyone who thinks that we should “ease up” on border enforcement because an illegal alien died in the Arizona desert after he or she tried to cross it by walking “unequipped” in summer should memorize Nos. 1 and 2.

THIS is what the bleeding hearts should post in Spanish signs in the desert; not storehouses of bottles of water encouraging these people to walk to suicide. If anyone is at fault, it is the liberal clergy and others who encourage the crossings.

The Vincente Fox government killed the kid. By pushing their uneducated poor citizens north, the Mexican government is doing virtually the same thing the Palestinians do by giving their kids bombs and guns and sending them to a “martyrs” death.

I surprised Kennedy hasn’t actually used the phrase “Immigrant Martyrs.”

By the same logic, then, every murder committed by an illegal immigrant in the United States is the fault of Ted Kennedy.

NTWR, you are exactly right. Boycotting Mexico is not the right thing to do.

We must exert pressure on the Mexico government. I don’t mind giving Mexican work permits, but I am totally against a path to citizenship.

Edith Rodriguez and Edith Rodriquez alone killed her son. She willingly and knowingly violated the laws of the United States and in doing so risked the life of her son. This incessant liberal babbling will only tend to embolden foreign trespassers that will continue to cross our borders illegally and in doing so will inflict upon themselves both pain and death. If liberals want to show their compassion then they should attempt to convince the illegal boarder crossers to stay home and stay safe.

Might one suggest that Mexico is, at least, partly responsible? Too harsh? Gad…

I agree with your point easy, but I have a different perspective. This is what I keep telling Feinstain in my letters-she is allowing and condoning the maiming and deaths of thousands by letting them believe all will be fine when they travel to el Norte and they will get everything they need or want once they are here.

It’s like our senators are fishing for dead illegals by putting so much bait in our water up here.

I was thinking about boycotting Mexico, but that will just make more of them flee up here! We can’t boycott until the border is secure. Then the Mexico revolution will begin and all the corrupt Mexican officials will be outed.

Our pandering is postponing an imminent revolution down there. SEAL THE BORDER!!

When the border is closed and secure, when the employment laws are enforced that they no longer can get a job, when the illegals realize that they no longer can come here through the broken fences and work, then they will stop coming and no one will die in the desert.

If the liberals are so passionate, they should take all their money, go to Mexico, and give them the money.

They, the illegals, make the decision. No one is responsible except the illegals themself and those who drove them here, the corrupted Mexico government.
