Korean Man who Died in Mexico Returned -- Missing Organs:

The body of a Korean man who died in Mexico has been returned to his family ― without his brain, stomach and heart.

Mexican authorities claim that the man, 35, surnamed Kim, died of natural causes despite a scuffle with other people just before his death. His widow fears that someone is trying to cover up the truth.

[...] According to the widow, Kim and other men were engaged in a fight at a Monterrey karaoke on Jan. 3, which was filmed by surveillance cameras there. In a few minutes, Kim passed out and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"More than a week later, I received the autopsy result that says 'no external injuries.' I was dumbfounded," she wrote on the Cheong Wa Dae website.

[...] She said Mexican police are not investigating the case because Kim died ― on paper ― of natural causes.

    There's really two issues here, though they overlap: illegal immigration and border security.

    Real border security requires a serious border patrol. Nothing less will cut it. And thanks to the very open and exposed nature of most of the Mexican border, nothing more is needed for most of it.

    Illegal immigration though has lots of other solutions. Personally, I think if we want to seriously stop illegal immigration, then we're going about it all wrong: Instead of trying to block the flow of millions of clever, desperate people, we should remove their incentive. Make knowingly employing an illegal immigrant a felony. Same for failing to do some basic due diligence. You hire someone illegally, you spend time in prison. Make it so no large-scale employer will go anywhere near anyone who can't prove they're a citizen or legal resident.

    Heck we could even get the immigrants themselves do the policing by offering rewards for illegal immigrants that expose their employers. They get a trip back to Mexico with a nice payday to get them reestablished, or even a work-visa or pathway to full U.S. citizenship, and the employer ends up in prison. Who would employ them in that environment?

    Of course, we've never done that because a lot of wealthy and powerful people are making money hand over fist employing a legal under-class that will work for peanuts and cower under the threat of exposure.
