"I don't know how many people have lost their lives just trying to get to America but I would wager it's plenty."At least 10 immigrants dead off Boynton Inlet; 17 rescued; search continues, after packed boat flips

Wednesday, May 13, 2009 RIVIERA BEACH — One by one, the bodies were carried off the boat in a somber sunset procession. Wrapped in silver tarps or white sheets, they rode up the long wooden dock on gurneys. The paramedics had a steady rhythm worked out by the time they reached the last one - a tiny brown package, small enough to carry in a gym bag. The body of a child. In the latest sad chapter in the ongoing immigration saga played out in the deep waters between Florida and the Caribbean, about 30 Haitian and Bahamian immigrants spilled into the Atlantic Ocean early Wednesday after their boat capsized about 15 miles off the South Florida coast, the U.S. Coast Guard said. The men, women and children, including an expectant mother and a man stricken with appendicitis, bobbed and treaded water helplessly for about 10 hours, driven inexorably northward by the Gulf Stream. Battling hypothermia and exhaustion in the 70-degree water, they might all have drowned had not a boater on a pleasure cruise spotted two figures among the waves and called for help.

Thanks Kat! I shall take you up on that offer, t'would be awesome!...BUT......
To add to Almightly Jwhop who seems to be seriously offended by hearing that some people may not actually want to live in the USA (for obvious reasons)...
I prefer Europe.
And you can bet that for every negative opinion you will have on the values, econmomics, etc. of any other country they will have one right back at you since the USA is as hypocritical and as flawed as the next country/nation. But anyway if I do happen to change my mind I certainly won't be neededing Jwhop's permission to live anywhere.... And I think Jwhop is just trying to provoke.

What's up with you Quinnie?I didn't say there aren't people who wouldn't want to live in the US. I said just the opposite and wished them well in their choice. Seems you're the one trying to be provocative here. IP: Logged |
