The all America canal is, a Killer canal.


Over 550 Mexican people dead, due to a canal that is on the Mexican, California border, used to irrigate farm lands. I watched 60 minutes as they showed a large graveyard with headstones of unnamed people.
I watch as they questioned the main person responsible for the upkeep and safety of the canal. A stern faced woman, with little emotion, stated that these people were taking their own lives in their own hands when they tried to cross the canal. When reminded that not only men, but women and children also were losing their lives because of the lack of safety features in the canal. she just shrugged her shoulders as if saying, so what.
There was a man that at his own expense, put some rope with floatation devices across the canal. This being so people could grab on to something to keep from drowning. But the state of California, quickly took them out, At the states expense!!!!! Isn't it peculiar that they can spend the money taking something down, but tell John q public, they can't afford to put safety devices in.
I understand that it's against the law for these Mexican to enter the USA illegally. But I think their life is too steep a penalty to be payed. Come on America, find a heart!!!!
until next time,God bless and may God forgive us all.
