Mourning in Guatemala as migrants return home in coffins

The bodies of 11 Guatemalan citizens were repatriated from Mexico on Wednesday, The Associated Press reports. They were part of a group of 72 migrants from South and Central America who were killed by the Zetas drug cartel in August 2010 in the northeastern Mexico town of San Fernando, according to the Mexican authorities.

    I agree with Tumbleweed. These deaths were financed by the druggies, and abetted by American immigration rules that make it 'illegal' for some people to apply for visas.

    This is typically how Mexico handles their Illegal Immigrants.

    You wish. It's funny how bigotry distorts rational thought.

    These people were murdered by those who cater to the needs of American drug addicts. It was not an action of the government of Mexico.

    God hear our prayers for justice for migrants, and grant peace and healing to the families of these victims of violence, bigotry, and irresponsible substance abuse.
