New name for article?

As I mentioned in the talk page of the 2011 Tamaulipas massacre (see: Talk:2011 Tamaulipas massacre), I feel the title of this article should be changed to something more precise. There were numerous massacres in Tamaulipas throughout all of 2010; many of them. If we decide to change it to "2010 San Fernando massacre," the title will be more precise. Take the 2011 Monterrey casino attack as an example of this; yes, calling it "2011 Nuevo Leon casino attack" would have techincally worked, but Monterrey (the actual city where it took place) serves a lot better, in my opinion. What do you all think? ComputerJA (talk) 15:38, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Politically-correct usage

...was the mass murder of 72 undocumented immigrants...

The deceased were “illegal” immigrants, not “undocumented.” They had illegally entered Mexico with the intention of illegally entering the United States. As a matter of law, no nation refers to persons who have entered that nation's territory without official authorization as “undocumented.”

It is legal for asylum seekers to enter another country to seek asylum under the Geneva Refugee Convention, which has been incorporated into the laws on signatory countries. TFD (talk) 01:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
