Forty-three men went on the hunger strike Tuesday, although not all have continued with it. Most of the group entered the country last June and July through the Columbus, N.M. port of entry, where they were detained and transferred to the El Paso processing center, Lawit said.

How are you equating someone that has not violated immigration law (they requested asylum at a Port of Entry) as an "illegal alien"?...

Demanding asylum has become the wonderful alternative to coming here illegally. Beats having to learn English and have a needed work skill that would get a work visa.
Live I've pointed out, asylum works even better than coming illegally because there are refugee handouts immediately available, no need to worry about low paying jobs even temporarily.
And if they're so legal, why are they pulling a hunger strike stunt?
Over hundred Punjabi men were said to be held in detention facilities for undocumented immigrants in El Paso, Texas, this week, with 42 of them embarking on the fourth day of a hunger strike to protest against authorities’ alleged denial of access to outside resources to the inmates.
Satnam Singh Chahal of the North American Punjabi Association (NAPA) expressed concern at the “miserable plight” of these “young men who are languishing in U.S. jails charged with illegal entry without valid entry visas”.
At some point prior to November 11 2013, when they found themselves in the U.S. detention facility, they either attempted a border crossing into the U.S. or were transported across.
What is going on and increasing is that people who are perfectly willing to come in illegally will claim asylum after being caught so they can be immediately released and start collecting the government handouts that come with refugee status.
It's not only Mexicans who have caught on to the big asylum scam --- break the law, but even if they're from a democracy and free society, they claim political persecution. Even the Reyes Salazar cartel family is here claiming asylum. The only persecution they faced was for their cartel activities.
Indians attempting to smuggle into the U.S. through Central America and Mexico has become very common. Many arrive after paying as much as $35,000 to be smuggled halfway around the globe, flying from India to Central America and then embarking on an arduous and often dangerous 3,000 mile journey through several countries to reach Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas. Thousands of Indians over the past year have asked for asylum; they are educated on our immigration laws, and know the best way to get around them.
