The message U.S. Border Enforcement seems to be sending is that undocumented immigration is now punishable by firing squad. Those who are injured but survive, are then subject to vilification in local newspapers and possibly months captivity in a privately run detention facility. Anyone who evades U.S. bullets can then find work at a meat processing factory or other giant food production facility doing some of the most dangerous jobs in the country. Welcome to America. The country that shoots, captures, and abuses brown foreigners.
