43. As I already said, what compels the other people who RISK DEATH coming here
across far greater distances in the Caribbean, or across the desert, where they KNOW hundreds of people die annually?

You probably haven't taken the time to notice, but even the corporate media started referring to the people who take boats here as "economic immigrants" rather than "asylum seekers."

Anthropologists tell us Florida and Cuban indigenous people used to make that trip in their own home-made boats regularly, also. No "go fast" smuggler boats for them.
