Terribly Sad, Terribly Hypocritical

I found this interesting, though terribly sad. It's an Associated Press article describing how illegal immigrants inside Mexico have a terrible, harsh life. They’re abused, mistreated, and prayed upon by both the military and law enforcement. The Mexican government has always held the United States accountable for its handling of illegal aliens detained within the United States, but they have very little power to stop horrible abuses taking place within their own borders.

My only issue with the article is that it’s mostly hearsay reporting, rather than documented instances. If the claims made are as pervasive as they seem, and I believe they are, there should be at least a few instances where legal action has been taken, or facts documented and supported by human rights organizations. Perhaps I didn’t read the article thoroughly enough.
