Coast Guard intercepts 101 US-bound migrants in boats on the high seas, then sends them back home

The US Coast Guard shipped 101 migrants back to the Dominican Republic after nabbing them on the high seas as they tried to make their way to American soil over the weekend, officials said Tuesday.

The Coast Guard Cutter Joseph Texanos sent the sea-borne migrants packing on Monday after intercepting three different crafts loaded with the scofflaws, according to a press release.

“The Coast Guard works daily with our local, federal and Dominican Republic Navy partners in our shared and unwavering resolve to stop unlawful maritime migration voyages in the Mona Passage,” San Jose Sector Commander Gerard Wenk said in a statement.
 

“These voyages are extremely dangerous since they most often take place aboard grossly overloaded vessels that are unseaworthy and continuously take on water,” Wenk said. “These conditions, along with unpredictable weather patterns in the Mona Passage, could cause a vessel to capsize without notice resulting in loss of life. Don’t take to the sea.”

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Is the CG required to give them first class airfare back as a nice gesture for their arduous trip? :tongue2:
