    Sure Europians an vikins an who knows who else shipped off in continants an never came back .. So first real countrys problems are now opinions of people lifes struggles eduecate yourselfs expand. Your life an views dont look down on someone that only knowa an will die for his dream while u feed your face an lose your iq points .. In leaving ignorant opinions how many people family risked there lives nust getting here an ... How many ofnu bigots are even indigenous of this country ..

    He did not jump or got in front of a moving train. He was a sleep exhausted and fell off. Lost his leg and the buddys that tried to help him from falling....well they fell to there deaths! Shame on all of you that think this is funny. Who are you to judge? Are you GOD?

    Wow...some of y'all lack morals! Your ancestors didn't have passports nor filed to become citizens! They came and STOLE the land. America is the land of immigrants. There is no such thing as being illegal on stolen land!

    What's crazy is that they come here waving the Honduran flag, the flag of the same sovialist nightnare country they're fleeing.

    If he wanted to come to America maybe he should've learned English and completed the immigration forms...just a thought.
