The relatives of migrants who were on a boat that capsized in the Mediterranean Sea on June 14 expressed their frustration and disbelief at the millions of dollars spent trying to recover the OceanGate submersible that had gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean while trying to visit the Titanic shipwreck, the Guardian reported.

Anees Majeed’s relatives were just five of the roughly 750 people who were aboard the overcrowded fishing vessel. Many of those on board, like Majeed’s family, were from Pakistan. Just days after the migrant boat sank, news broke of the missing submersible, which had five passengers — each of whom had paid $250,000 for the experience.

A multimillion-dollar rescue effort was launched, making headlines across the world even though the passengers had signed waivers acknowledging that the vessel was “experimental” and that death was a possibility. Meanwhile, in the days after the migrant boat sank, the Greek Coast Guard was accused of causing the vessel to capsize.

 

 

Right. 2000 people on a boat trying to sneak into the USA for a boat that has a capacity of 100. Exactly the same.

I don't think we should have wasted money on the Oceangate submersible, and I don't think we should waste money on migrants.  I think we should offer migrants a deal.  Dive down and save someone from the submersible.  Each person you save is good for one entry in to the United States.
