Mexican ‘Death Train’ Derails The American Dream for 1,300 Immigrants

Droves of Mexican immigrants riding atop a train to freedom, have found themselves short of their destination after the train derailed. Emergency services estimate about 1,300 people are stranded, many injured.

The derailed train had previously been nicknamed “the Beast” and “the Train of Death,”and is the quickest way to travel through Mexico to the southern border of the U.S. But the ride on the ramshackle cargo train is far from safe. Reuters reports many of those hitching a ride were young people trying to make it to the United States from their home countries in Central America.

Don't be too surprised that these children are just a smoke screen to occupy the time of border patrol and homeland security, so that multitudes of convicted criminals from the central American countries, and future terrorists from who knows where, can pass over our borders undetected.

Kansas City Southern owns this train.

They have lines that extend from a deep water port in Mexico to the inner US.

They need an implosion of our border, where we essentially absorb Mexico. This is known as the North American Union, and it's similar to the European Union.

Then, they become the crucial link that gets merchandise from Asia into the US, to inland customs checkpoints like Kansas City. It will cause shipments to avoid busy/expensive ports in California, giving more jobs to Mexico.

I have a question. If I get a visa to visit Mexico, or pass through it for that matter, I would need to show a reason for my stay and that I had enough money to cover my own expenses while there for the entire duration of my trip, plus all the legal papers to show I am not a criminal or terrorist.

My question then, is how and why are these undocumented aliens to Mexico allowed to enter from their borders with Mexico?

In other words, who is paying who for this to happen?

Which begs the second question. If payola gets things done, why is our American serviceman sitting still in a Mexican jail?

Who the hell cares about JOBS IN MEXICO?

How many MILLIONS of people IN THIS COUNTRY don't have a job? How many MILLIONS have given up looking for work?

We need to cure our own problems before we attempt to correct someone elses'.

THINK for God's sake.
