[QUOTE](Reuters) - A state senator from South Texas called on Saturday for an investigation into recently discovered mass graves containing the bodies of apparent illegal immigrants believed to have been buried by a funeral home paid by the local county government.
The grisly discovery - including one body that had been stuffed inside a kitchen garbage bag - was made by anthropologists at a cemetery in Falfurrias, Texas, 80 miles (130 km) from the state's southern border with [URL="http://www.reuters.com/places/mexico?lc=int_mb_1001"]Mexico[/URL].
"These people deserve a proper investigation and a proper burial," Senator Juan Hinojosa, a Democrat, told Reuters.[/QUOTE]
Most likely smugglers, but I wouldn't put it past border patrol or Texas vigilantes or something to do it....

uhh....
I've heard that some ranchers down at the border have no qualms killing illegal immigrants on their property. Though there are some that are the exact opposite and go out of their way to help them, like that one rancher that was gunned down by a possible drug cartel member.
what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

what the double fuuuuuuck
Jesus Christ, that's messed up.
Well I didn't expect the government to be THAT fucked up but hey, wouldn't put it past em'.
very rip.
[QUOTE]The county has paid the funeral home for at least 16 years to deal with the remains of immigrants who die as they cross on foot in the desert-like conditions, according to the Caller-Times.

About 120 bodies of immigrants are found each year in Brooks County, Martinez said.[/QUOTE]
worth pointing out
Partly cloudy today, with scattered showers, and chances of a media shitstorm for the next week or so.

what in the god damn
who the fuck removes limbs from a body going to a mass grave?
[QUOTE=SexualShark;45179769]what in the god damn[/QUOTE]
Keep in mind they find these bodies in expansive, arid deserts. You have to imagine how many of these corpses they find either totally rotten or half eaten by scavengers.
Still, mass graves are completely gross and disrespectful.

actually pretty common practice
it conserves space
it's sad, I know

Where do they do this?

There's more to it then just that, it sounds like there's something fucked up going on here considering someone would have raised an alarm with the dismembered bodies and/or the fact that the local government hasn't launched an investigation themselves.
[QUOTE=BusterBluth;45179856]Where do they do this?[/QUOTE]
first case I know of is somewhere around ww2, when they deliberately just cut limbs off the dead because it made gravedigging at least 25% more efficient

Beings a lot of these people probably die in the desert, I'm thinking it could possibly be from animals eating on the dead bodies. The anthropologist probably thought there was something shady going on due to it being a mass grave, but that may not be the case.

They where probably paying the funeral home to take care of deceased immigrants and didn't bother to make sure it was being done right

Oh I was thinking of some Holocaust thing was going on.

Seems like just poor burial practices by the funeral home. An investigation should definitely be performed. But Sensational Headlines strike again!
Well, at least they're not going to take our jobs anymore.
Had a great-aunt who lived in Tuscon, she says it wasn't uncommon for the Apaches to kill the Coyotes that tried to sneak across the border and bury them in the middle of nowhere as well.

Mostly Eastern front. Although its been quite some time, but the US Civil War is still pretty recent and mass graves were very common then. Its a fedral crime to bring a metal detector to battle sites because if you find a bullet, it possibly was inside a body.
That funeral home is about to get fucked up.

Maybe not because of the bullet thing, but still is illegal.

I am not from the South. By Coyote, do you mean the dog thing or do you mean someone who crosses the border and gets murdered by native americans? I am sorry for being ignorant

TBH the coyotes are human scum. There is no way you should never treat a human being like that.
For those who are unaware, Coyotes are people, sometimes cartel affiliated, who will take illegal immigrants across the border and will usually kidnap (or in some cases, rob and murder) them. Usually they ransom them off, and sometimes kill them after receiving the money, or they sell them to human traffickers.
However, if in this context you just mean illegal immigrants, then that's awful.

A mexican-born man I know was smuggled with his family across the border via Coyotes. His grandpa got very sick and one of the coyotes told them he would take him back to his town in Mexico but when my friend got to America he called his town and apparently the Coyote returned but the grandfather didn't and the Coyote claimed he was never took him back in the first place. Also the other coyote left them in the middle of the night between "safe-houses" so they had a really hard time getting to the border.
