Imagine being locked inside a house with no food, no running water and in the middle of South Texas. Now imagine that scenario with 100 other people

Scary enough on its own

Sounds just like Little House on the Prairie. These are American heroes.

cman: In the battle of illegal immigration we have these people, the exploited. These people were held against there will in inhumaine conditions. There is a chance they would have been sold as domestic servants.

And its even worse for women. Many of them become sex slaves in this country. Gangs are most responsible for this. This has become a major problem in the past few years.

So, while you may be screaming "quit takin' our jobs" or "free healthcare for illegals", please remember that this is should be the center issue on the illegal immigration debate.

Police the border better.

So it's still Texas, only even more so.

That read like a Law & Order intro.

Meh, if you want cheap tomatos you gotta break some eggs.

So it's like being stuck on a plane that's sitting on the taxiway at DFW?

Damn it. I just tracked postage for the replacement line cook that I ordered, and the package has been stuck in McCallen Texas for the past 4 days... Now I find out why.

I swear to god, if there's any damage at all, I'm filing an insurance claim. This is the LAST time I use FedMex.

I have it on good authority that it is, indeed, no fun being an illegal alien.

All you need to do is say "Be in Texas" for me and I'm good. Not enough money on the planet to get me to return to that barbaric shiat hole.

Oh my god! Did they have to drink their own, or possibly each others, piss?

Ha, says a guy living in perhaps the biggest shiathole of a town in North America.. Enjoy your several billion dollar leaking tunnels and shiatty accents..

There's always food

A house? With a door? We should have been so lucky. We lived under the brambles by the road, and we liked it!

Problem with your analogy is that no one wants to make those harboring Illegal Aliens responsible for their actions.

The way to stop this is to strengthen Human Trafficking laws to include the hiring of Illegal Aliens. Long sentences for those who hire Illegals will prevent such abuse from Coyotes

Still, the first and best way to prevent these people from being "imprisoned" like this is secure borders and deportation. By doing those things, it will discourage anyone from becoming an Illegal Alien here in the first place

(they are not immigrants if they are here Illegally)

Then get the fark out of this country. It can't be worse in mexico.

What's interesting is that four days ago there were only 8 Mexicans in that house.

Or you know, they could have just stayed in their own country where they belong instead of driving down wages, increasing crime rates, and bringing diseases eradicated in civilized places with them. The mexicans who illegally immigrate to America are the absolute dregs of society, the lowest possible form of human life.

Clearly someone spilled water on them.

Still better smelling than just one non-native Indian.

Spanish Militia?

/hey, what's so bad? They had a place to take a dump...
//And sinko demayo is coming up soon too!

Huddled masses yearning to be free.

How did they know there were 100 people in there? Was there 3 cars parked in the yard?

one wonders what would become of an American who was caught after illegally immigrating to Germany, Australia, China etcetera.

God. I'd love to illegally immigrate to the UK or Australia. Somehow I don't think is be welcomed as an undocumented worker.

raise taxes on the wealthier Americans so there will be funding to support increased patrols, better borders, and more efficient Immigration courts.

wait whaddya mean you want to lower taxes?

What Edinburg (sic) Texas looks nothing like .....

Why are they hiding them in some house? Seriously... it's McAllen. No one is gonna notice if they were all sitting on the sidewalk.

In fact, in two more days, the entire population of CJ could parade right up the center of the country dragging a BBQ'd pig, waving Mexican flags, shooting into the air and and they'd make it as far as Nebraska before anyone noticed.

You smell very naive.

Enforcement is about as effective as the War on Drugs Drugs not produced by Pfizer, Philip Morris or Anheuser Busch. Throwing money at that hasn't worked either. Time to stop trying, and to find a better solution.

/ electing Romney and letting him fark up the economy so we can't afford to pay even illegals is one possibility :)

Are we talking house or fortress? Because if we're just talking about a regular house with maybe a wooden door to the basement, I'd get those other 99 people together and start kicking some ass or tunneling.

It is very hard to prove an employer knew someone is an illegal alien.

And that isn't even getting into how to deal with day laborers.

+1 for the reference

With borders between two contiguous countries, is it really like locks between two bodies of water? Should we just make it open both ways and see how it washes out, what would happen? It seems like with free trade, poor countries will continue economically developing, while countries like the US are more stagnant, are we moving toward economic equalization worldwide?

I really don't know at all, just curious.
