Excuse me? That sounds racist to me. Why would you deny entry to anyone worldwide if you allow entry to those "dangling" from a bridge and their families. Is there a double standard? What would your entry criteria be?

How cute. You worked the R-word in.

The person does not get entry because of dangling from a bridge, per se, although your lack of sympathy for a person in such peril is quite telling. Asylum for refugees, of course, is based on demonstrated peril in homeland, not while traveling. But on humanitarian grounds, we should assist Mexico to assure safety of travellers.

@JJIII: tell me I've got a new target here, and I'll suspect you're right!

Thanks Don, you've put it far better than I could.
