Tom Lantos' Legacy
February 11, 2008 4:15 PM
We learned today that Representative Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress, passed away at age 80. Lantos was also a superdelegate supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton. Upon hearing the news, co-anchor Terry Moran wrote this in an email to our political unit.
Terry Moran Reports:
It is true his legacy goes beyond this campaign: Tom Lantos was a statesman of the old school: one of the truly great advocates for human rights in the U.S. Congress, a founder of the Human Rights Caucus and a reliable ally for human-rights activists around the world.
Except, perhaps, in the Palestinian Territories, where critics claim he overlooked Israel's human-rights abuses. He may not have been completely pure. No one is. But the world is probably a more just place because Tom Lantos was in it- - and that's a pretty good legacy to leave behind.

Apparently these people come to the Border with tons of issues.
Escaping Danger,seeking gainful employment,reuniting with family here,
companionship,Hungry,Hurt,
So they communicate with violence?
There is nothing at the borders,so they are taken across the boders anyway?
They even get across the border before the patrols discover them?
GET SOME STUFF AT THE BORDERS!!!!????
Peace
