1. When Mexicans and Central Americans Die In The Desert...
It seems that when unfortunate Mexicans or Central Americans die horrible deaths in the Sonoran or Chihuahuan deserts, some self-proclaimed nativist elements are almost beside themselves in glee and more than willing to remark that it serves the unfortunates right.

I keep remembering that OT passage concerning the fate of the two cities on the plain. The OT prophets didn't mention same-sex hanky-panky, like the Scribes, the Pharisees, and Saul of Tarsus did later, but decried their inhospitality to strangers. I shudder to think of what might happen to a lot of immigrant-bashers if right wingie-dingies succeed in getting real divine justice.
