BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - A small boat overloaded with more than 100 illegal immigrants capsized and sank in rough waters in the Pacific Ocean, and only nine survivors were found, clinging to a wooden box and buoys, officials said Wednesday.

Ecuadorean Navy Capt. Armando Elizalde told Colombian RCN television most of the 113 people aboard ``sank with the boat.'' The Colombian Navy said the immigrants' boat was meant to hold only 15 people.

The disaster that hit the boat - whose passengers were believed to be heading for the United States - occurred Friday night more than 100 miles off the coast of southwest Colombia.

``The boat, with way too many people aboard, was unable to resist a strong wave and it tipped over,'' Elizalde said, adding that most of those aboard were in the ship's hold when it capsized and could not escape. Thirteen people emerged on the surface but four of them later slipped under the waves, he said.

My Comment: I despise the term 'Illegal Immigrants', there are no 'Illegal' human beings. So who is responsible for these deaths/ All of those who were the architects, sponsors and sycophants for globalization. That means those in the Harvard Business School, those who create the NAFTA's, CAFTA's etc. that enslave us all.
