The Public Safety Aspect of Illegal Immigration
CNN Radio reported about an automobile accident in remote Arizona that killed and injured a large number of people jammed into a truck. Just people, the radio announcer said. A special kind of people, my mind inferred. This AP article alludes to what special people they might be:
    A pickup truck jammed with people has crashed in remote central Arizona. Four people are dead and nearly 30 are injured.

    Authorities are investigating the immigration status of those involved in the Sunday morning rollover crash.
Funny that the Public Health aspect of illegal immigration is never discussed. That public money is spent on chasing down and treating people suffering from exposure or dehydration crossing in the desert or in treating people hurt in accidents where large numbers of them are crammed into trucks or whatnot.

Spurious and scurrilous laws are passed with larger impact to protect far smaller sample sizes of citizens. How about taking illegal immigration seriously and enforcing the laws or erecting the walls in the name of public safety?

Hah! Just kidding. People who do illegal things will do them regardless of how more illegal you make them; it's always easier to layer on more control upon the law abiding than to bring the existing criminals to heel. See also all gun control attempts.
