Kanonnenvlees?
Friekens - 04.04.2003 12:21

"Ongeveer 15.000 Latijns Amerikanen vechten in Irak voor Staatsburgerschap. In plaats van 3-5 jaar te moeten wachten, kunnen ze vanaf de eerste dag van indiensttreding het staatsburgerschap aanvragen

Gelezen in Spits, maar helaas op internet nog niets van gevonden. Om extra militair personeel te ronselen heeft Bush dus een speciaal decreet uitgebracht. Toevallig genoeg waren de eerste doden van de oorlog mariniers uit Guatamala en Mexico. Niet genoeg getraind? Kanonnenvlees?
Weet iemand of je inderdaad illegalen een oorlog in mag sturen en is er meer over gepubliceerd?

Mexicaans kanonnenvoer voor VS-leger. 
Landloper - 04.04.2003 17:48

MEXICO-STAD, 4 april 2003 - Op de dodenlijst uit Irak komen steeds meer Latijns-Amerikaanse namen voor. De gesneuvelde militairen zijn soldaten, geen generaals. En toch staan er aan de Amerikaanse ambassade in Mexico lange rijen kandidaat-strijders, vol hoop op een betere toekomst.

Vroeger (vietnam, korea etc.) waren het vooral afro-amerikanen die als eerste stierven als kanonnen voer. Nieuwe tijden :-/

Valt het meer mensen op dat iedereen het erg vind als er burgerslachtoffers vallen maar dat het niemand intereseert dat Irakese soldaten bij duizenden worden afgeslacht en dat die cijfers nooit genoemd worden?
Stop de US agressie!

The exact numbers of "green-card troops" -- legal immigrants who are not yet U.S. citizens -- serving in Iraq are unknown, but there are an estimated 37,000 non-citizens serving somewhere on active duty in the armed forces (along with another 25,000-30,000 who are naturalized citizens).

IRAQ-MEXICO: Mexicans on the Front-Line 
ipsnews.net - 07.04.2003 17:38

The list of soldiers of Latin American origin who have died in Iraq as part of the U.S. armed forces rank- and-file continues to grow, but that has not discouraged hundreds of Mexicans who have offered to enlist and go to war as a way to legally emigrate to the United States.

Guatemalteeks straatkind 
Daniel - 07.04.2003 18:21

Het eerste 'Amerikaanse' slachtoffer in Irak was een voormalig straatkind in Guatemala, die ooit naar de VS trok om daar een beter leven te zoeken...
Omdat ik het persbericht daarover van de organisatie voor straatkinderen in Midden-Amerika Casa Alianza niet op Internet terug kan vinden copieer ik het hier maar in z'n geheel.

FIRST US MARINE KILLED IN IRAQ WAS GUATEMALAN STREET CHILD IN CASA ALIANZA

The first US Marine killed in the war against Iraq was a former street child in Guatemala City and resident of Casa Alianza.

Jose Antonio Gutierrez was killed in Iraq last Friday where he formed part of the Second Battalion of the Expeditionary Forces of the US Marine’s First Division. He was fighting close to the city of Umm al Qasr in southern Iraq.

According to Casa Alianza case files, Jose Antonio first entered Casa Alianza’s programs in the mid 1980s as a result of the death of his parents. He was placed into Casa Alianza’s residential program where he studied architecture at the “Escuela Tecnica de Ingenieria y Arquitectura” in Guatemala City. He studied through middle school with high grades and was considered a good student.
After Jose Antonio left Casa Alianza’s programs in 1992, he was living with his sister Graciela in a family in the Municipality of Chinautla, Guatemala.

Casa Alianza is a program for street boys and girls in Guatemala City and Antigua Guatemala. Casa Alianza is the Latin American program of the New York based Covenant House and has been operating in Guatemala since 1981, serving some 1,500 street children a year.

According to media reports, in 1997 Jose Antonio headed north from Guatemala to the United States where he tried to enter illegally and was detained by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. He was given asylum and referred to a foster family in southern California where he lived until joining the Marine Corps on March 25th, 2002. He was killed in Iraq less than one year later.

An estimated 50,000 unaccompanied children travel – like Juan Antonio – from Central America and Mexico to the United States each year.

“These children walk, hitch hike and jump trains to cover the 3,000 miles from their homelessness in Central America looking for a future in North America”, explained Bruce Harris, the Executive Director of Casa Alianza’s Latin American Programs. “Some die on the way and a few make it. Most are lost to the streets and to the world’s indifference”.

Jose Antonio too was lost, in a desert half a world away.

A memorial Mass for Jose Antonio will be held in Casa Alianza in Guatemala City later this week.
