   Stupid Mexicans.  And these are the kinds of people Democrats   
   want to grant amnesty for breaking our laws too.   
      
   A leaking fuel pipeline that authorities claim had been   
   illegally tapped erupted in a massive explosion Friday in   
   Mexico's central Hidalgo state, resulting in at least 66 deaths,   
   Hidalgo state Gov. Omar Fayad said.   
      
   More than 85 other people on Saturday were listed as missing a   
   day after a massive fireball erupted at an illegal pipeline tap   
   in the small town of Tlahuelilpan, about 62 miles north of   
   Mexico City. Fayad said at least 76 others were injured in the   
   blast.   
      
   Fuel thieves had drilled into the pipeline, causing the leak in   
   the small town, according to state oil company Petroleos   
   Mexicanos, or Pennex.   
      
   Some victims had burns over 40 percent to 90 percent of their   
   bodies, officials told the Los Angeles Times.   
      
   Graphic video footage showed flames shooting high into the air   
   against a night sky and the pipeline ablaze. Screaming people   
   ran from the flames, some of them on fire and waving their arms.

   The ruptured line burst into flame around 7 p.m., according to   
   authorities, the Times reported. Residents gathered to collect   
   gasoline from the leaking pipeline, the paper reported, citing   
   cell phone images on Mexican media.   
      
   The explosion came just three weeks after new Mexican President   
   Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador launched an offensive against fuel   
   theft gangs that drilled dangerous, illegal taps into pipelines   
   an astounding 12,581 times in the first 10 months of 2018, an   
   average of about 42 per day.   
      
   “I urge the entire population not to be complicit in fuel   
   theft,” Fayad said on Twitter. “Apart from being illegal, it   
   puts your life and those of your families at risk.”   
      
   Municipal health director Jorge Aguilar Lopez said: "What   
   happened here should serve as an example for the whole nation to   
   unite behind the fight that the president is carrying out   
   against this ill."
