20 Migrants Drown Near Bahamas

The bodies of 20 migrants have been recovered from the sea near the Bahamas after their boat apparently capsized, the U.S. Coast Guard said Monday as it searched for survivors.

The bodies of 19 Haitians and one Honduran were recovered and three survivors - two Haitians and one Honduran - have been found, said Barry Bena, a Coast Guard spokesman in Miami. Authorities are interviewing the survivors to determine what happened.

The search-and-rescue mission began Sunday after fishermen heard people screaming in the water. Read more

Be SURE you TELL your ELECTED OFFICIALS how you feel about ILLEGALS. They obviously CAN'T HEAR, or they DON'T CARE what WE think.
I'm SICK of the elected officials. VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
You'll get your chance in November. Just don't vote for ANY incumbent. It's that simple......

Broke our laws? Haitians also try to get to the Bahamas, not just to Florida. The Coast Guard, and any other Navy, can operate on international waters. This was most likely a humanitarian operation. You'd expect the same after getting drunk off your a*s and capsizing your boat....WOULDN'T YOU?

It's an occupational hazzard. Try to sneak in into the country and you pay the ultimate price.

The same goes for mexicans, their price will be bullets from the border patrol - and well deserved !!!

NEWS FLASH; MY TAX MONEY IS GOING FOR THIS. I DO NOT WANT M-Y TAX MONEY SPENT IN THIS MANNER.
Why are the IDIOTS like you so compassionate to people who are obviously trying to BREAK OUR L-A-W-S? It's beyond me. I guess that breaking the L-A-W isn't a big deal to you.
If you LOVE these LAWBREAKERS so much..........why don't you just get a few of them to come and LIVE IN YOUR HOME??? Feed them, cloth them and educate them and let them steal everything you have..........COME ONE, IDIOT..........why don't you WALK the WALK??????????
I couldn't agree more...Haitians particularly are destroying the quality of life in South Florida - bringing their 3rd world ways of life over here. A lot of these "compassionate" folks don't have to deal with these "people" in their daily lives - so they can pi$$ off.

I never said I love law breakers. I understand that illegal immigration is a huge problem and I fully believe and support the notion that something should be done. Pardon me for not cheering and throwing confetti because 20 people are dead.

Do you really think we should welcome law brakers? When they steal your 700 series BMW and snort the coke under the front seat, will you be mad then?

Again, I never said anything about welcoming them. And I'm sorry they stole your bike and snorted your coke. Have a nice day.

Jack, please quit sniping at me. I am entitled to my opinion, just as you are entitled to yours. No, I am not really young or really stupid. I am working on my BSW, have raised a child to manhood virtually on my own, work two jobs and pay my fair share of taxes. I'm sorry if what I said offended you. That certainly wasn't my intent. Now stop name calling and yelling.

Actually, keep name calling and yelling all you want if it helps. I won't be visiting this thread again. I've said my peace.

You devil, you have some nerve getting on here spewing that garbage. "You need them to take care of you", such a typical comment from your KIND! Always wanting people of color to take care of you. I'm not surprised by your comments since you are in FLA one of the most racist states in the United Snakes of AMERIKKKA!! YES I SAID...UNITED SNAKES OF AMERIKKKA!!

The history of FLA and treatment you all have inflicted on black from the past to present is outrageous. Let's not forget Rosewood and how that beautiful black township was ravaged by those savage redneck beasts(probably your kinfolk) that were jealous of the success of Rosewood.

On a lighter note its sad those people are not here with us today. May GOD BLESS THEM and DAMN THOSE THAT take this loss of life lightly because of their own warped since of AMERIKKKA pride.

The plight driving their exodus continues unabated. In their country it truly is "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer."

We worry more about Asian countries than we do our own very close neighbors. Why is that? Answer: There's little left to exploit in Haiti.

And yes, I've seen it firsthand.
