A sign of the times . . .
Three people have been arrested in the state of Colorado because they put a baby boy as down-payment for a used car, media reported.Mother Nicole Uribe-Lopez, 23, arrived in the States from Mexico to earn money for the children she left behind and offered her third child to Jose and Irene Lerma for sale. The woman wanted a USD 500 car payment and some more cash.
Uribe-Lopez is now accused of children trafficking and her ten-month-old baby has been placed with foster parents.
What a tragedy. Instead of offering this poor mother help raising her children they take her baby away from her - AND throw her in jail!
Granted, it was a ridiculously stupid thing to do. IF indeed, she did that.
But, why are there no details about what led this woman to do this?
And what about the baby? Doesn't he have a say in whether or not he wants to be with his mother???
This world is insane - filled with one tragedy after another.
Why do Americans and Mexicans and everyone else in the world sit idly as we are all held hostage and driven to desperation by a handful of crooked bankers and savage industrialists???

I agree that illegal immigration is a problem.
But, blaming the victims and destroying families is not the answer.
Mexicans and Americans are both being had.
We're ALL being herded and exploited by bankers.
It's as clear as day.
Enough is enough.
It's time that Americans demand MONETARY REFORM and SANE foreign trade and immigration policies.

Would Mexicans leave their families if they had a livelihood at home? Would they make the hazardous journey north in order to work as slaves in meat packing plants? NAFTA allowed giant conglomerats to buy Mexican farms, thereby reducing millions of Mexicans to poverty. What choice do Mexicans have? CAFTA did the same in Central America. (Fortunately FTAA failed.)
Now we're moving to a "North American Union," which will dissolve the borders between the US, Canada, and Mexico. The entire continent will be under the heel of giant corporations and the Jewish lobby.
How comical it is to hear idiots like Rush Limbaugh blast illegal aliens, while they also praise Bush, who does everything possible to replace American workers with cheaper foreign workers.
