"EL PASO, Texas — Josefa Gonzalez Loya has sneaked across the Mexican border at least 128 times in the past eight years. And each time, the Border Patrol has been nice enough to give her a lift home.
Gonzalez and a group of other women and children _ all Indians from the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca _ have no interest in staying in the United States. All they want to do is panhandle outside El Paso businesses, using the children as lures.
At the end of a productive day, they wait for the Border Patrol to come pick them up and drive them back to the border.
Little dramas like this play out day after day, accounting for thousands of arrests but hardly any prosecutions in the past several years.
The Oaxacan immigrants fall under a loophole that gives border agents discretion to keep some adults and children together and out of jail."
It seems to me that if a person is coming into this country illegally over 128 times, that border agents should no longer have the discretion to make the choice to let them go.
It also goes to show that our current government (and its employees) can not be trusted to be efficient with the money they take from us. Now i, like most people, do not have a problem with people wanting to come to this country, it is what makes this country great. However if you want to come here, do it the legal way like everyone else.
It is time to call all of those responsibile to the carpet on this matter. The government is not looking out for us, we need to start looking out for ourselves!
Viva Liberty!
