After 128 “detentions” there is no more room for “humanitarian” gestures.

This policy has got to stop.

“”They do qualify for jail and prosecution,” Border Patrol spokesman Ramiro Cordero said. “However, we’ve got to look at the humanitarian factor first if we are going to have to separate the family.””

Actually, you can make that work in our favor.

Confiscate the money the got panhandling to pay fines and fees.

Take the profit out of doing it, and they'll quit coming.

Hmm this is interesting. Well, I can see why the Border Patrol isn’t too concerned about these women— they are not trying to stay in the US, not using government services, are obviously not a threat and are not taking jobs away from anybody who belongs here. According to the article the local businesses don’t even mind them. So, I can understand why the Border Patrol doesn’t want to spend their resources chasing them around when there are dangerous people and illegal immigrants who are keeping them busy. The police ignore quiet panhandlers all the time because they have more serious things to attend to. It’s really just the same thing. I think the Border Patrol would pay more attention if they were stealing money or dealing drugs or kept trying to move here. I don’t think they’re necessarily falling down on the job here.
