Education is what you get from reading the small print. Experience is what you get from not reading it.

trying to pull oneself along a line that is perpendicular to the current will be quite taxing to an exhausted swimmer. angling the lines to the shore would have made it much easier.

Maybe they should set up an Oasis in the desert to prevent them from dying of exposure and dehydration. Or better yet, set up a shuttle service of SUV's to bring them from the border to their contact point on this side. And a ferry service to cross the river. And free food and beverage stations strategically placed at busy crossing areas.

Man, didn't anyone see the 60 Minutes piece on this deadly canal 3 years ago? It was a big deal, and highlighted personal stories of illegal crossers drowning on a regular basis. It's similar to when the gummint put up these famous freeway signs when illegal crossers were being slaughtered on the freeways near Tijuana. Whatcha gonna do? Keep a tally on the body count, and keep cleaning up the bloody messes, or finally do something to prevent the carnage? Interesting fact: This road sign is the ONLY one, with more than one person depicted on it.

If you swim in shark infested waters, you might get bit. Break the law, there may be consequences. Be stupid, you may die.

Hey, I'm not supporting illegal entry. I paid the same fees you did to get her here. But when bloody bodies regularly turn up on the road year after year, people take practical action to prevent it. Switzerland has that heroin junky park to confine the addicts to one small area, while the rest of the city is beautiful. Sometimes practical solutions to impossible problems are called for. It ain't easy, breezy. :reading:
