People are dying to get into this country. Cemetaries have fences, why dont we?

June 16, 2006 -- Another illegal immigrant dies in the blistering sun crossing into the U.S. topping the number of deaths this month alone in the New Mexico desert.

We have 8 deaths and then I just got a report earlier that they found another one over there toward Las Cruces and Dona Ana," said Columbus Police Chief Paul Armijo.

Chief Armijo says illegal immigrant deaths are a daily occurrence and compared to last summer this year the numbers are spiking. Last year the entire summer months the total number of immigrant deaths reached nine. This year they have nine in a matter of weeks.

The most recent discovery made early Friday morning along mile marker 95 near highway 9 near Columbus. Border Patrol agents in the area encountered the female body about 300 yards South of the roadway.

New Mexico State Police believe the body had been out in the desert anywhere from three to five days because it was beginning to decompose.

Generally if there's a weak member of the group or if someone begins to suffer from heat exhaustion or exposure or has a significant injury, generally they are left where they are at," said Lieutenant Rich Libcer with New Mexico State Police.

Officers in the area expect the deaths to rise because of an influx of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. hoping to fall under the president's plan for temporary work status. Despite National Guard presence along the border, Chief Armijo says it's not deterring immigrants from putting their lives in danger

Or does it constitute abuse of a corpse?

I know someone who has stated that this would be his final wish.

He is permitted by the state of Indiana to burn large (controlled) fires on his own land, but he is also an Ohio resident, if this may affect the issue.

If there is a way for this to be legal, how would he go about it fixing it into his will? I will pass the answers onto him, because he hasn't seemed to concern himself yet with the legalities of such an.. undertaking..

Thanks.

Because the Demoncrats took away my fingerpaints! Arrrgh! They spoil everything! They took away my Thorazine! They gave me herpes! They caused the San Francisco earthquake of 1906!

I never had the full scope of what a liberal was/is until I came to this website. You conservatives are probably undercover libs. But you act as though politics is the same as sports: STICK WITH YOUR TEAM no matter what.

Contrary to popular belief, the 'Magna Carta' is not a document that ensures democracy to the people of England. In fact it is the opposite. It was drawn up by foreign invaders of the country who started to rule over the English people. It is in no way a Constitution, since a Constitution is made by the people themselves. A Constitution is not made by lords, kings, or rulers, but by the general public. Therefore, is it true that, in fact, England has never had a Constitution other than that foisted on them by ruling elites ?

So do you realize that our foreign policy has been dictated by oil for the last god knows how many years? We negotiated with the taliban to build an oil pipeline through their country and when that fell through we went to war with them. Saudi Arabia is running out of oil!! Iraqs oil fields are largely untapped and we need them. Saddam Hussein was working on getting his sanctions lifted before we invaded, he would have sold oil rights to Russia, China and France! All countries that opposed the war.This would have crippled our economy making the dollar worthless.If you knew this was the reason for the war would you have supported it? If our government was honest with us would that have changed your mind about the war? If they didnt lie to us and tell us it was to fight terrorism?

The U.S. government has been, and continues to be, a major supporter of state-sponered terrorism, favoring retaliatory and preemptive aggression over mediation in the world court, and avoiding accountability by excluding itself from the globally accepted definition of terrorism.

This is what some Americans are doing.
A southwest Idaho county filed a racketeering lawsuit against agricultural companies accused of hiring illegal immigrants - an attempt to recoup money the county says it has spent on the workers.

The lawsuit by Canyon County commissioners alleges four agricultural companies and a nonprofit have taken part in an "illegal immigrant hiring scheme," and that the county has paid the cost of medical care, jails and schools.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court on Wednesday claims the companies violated the federal Racketeering and Corrupt Organizations Act, which allows winning plaintiffs to receive triple damages...
