#2 "You can't try to save money when it comes to saving lives," Carral said. "One life is worth it."

Easy to say when it's not YOUR money that's being expended. I'd have settled for leaving them at the border with a warning that a subsequent attempt to cross will result in being shot.

#3 Compromise is in order, box lunch at the border with a little walking around money.

#4 Its cheaper for the national government to simply provide the returnees a bus ticket back to the border for another try rather than clean up their own completely corruption laden economy to actually provide these obreros real jobs and a living at home.

#6 Actually, flying them back makes sense.

Flying them back to the _southern_ border of Mexico probably even makes more sense than the Capitol, but as long as they're "starting over" from pretty far down south it's OK with me.

#7 In that case, it'd make even more sense to fly them to Sao Paolo or Buenos Aires...

#8 They'll probably exchange their free bus tickets for a ride back to Tijuana... and that lunch box should last until there.

#9 Does the lunch include bottled water?

#10 Alright, here's a solution: Drop the word border from the lexicon. Replace it with a term that conveys happiness and openness. Like, the US is Mexico's patio.

#11 Sorry Muck - I bet the box lunch includes a lunch-meat sandwich. You don't want to support baloney producers do you?;)
