ColdWater? Are you sure you are on the correct side of this discussion?! ;)

This guy was jailed for setting water out. My friend gave water to a family that he came across in the middle of the desert.

I originaly thought that setting water out is wrong, while giving water directly to someone in need is okay, and then alerting the authorities. I guess that because you KNOW these folks are doing something illegal, and you are helping them do that illegal activity, it is not okay. (With the water just set out alone.)

At our church we give out gift cards to fast-food places. Cash is too obvious of a thing to be used to help the folks that drop by as it can be used for poor choices, or illegal things. We used to give out cards to the grocery stores until someone pointed out that they could buy wine and cigarettes with them. (Back in college I would make up small packages for the homeless with cheap socks, gloves, a hat and a pack of Marlboro’s!)

And I’m not going to be the one to bring up the fact that they could sell their $5 Wendy’s gift card for $4 and go buy drugs with it!

I am not on the side of these guys. Which side are you on?

"Workers and their families currently living in the US must have access to a program of legalization that offers equity-building paths to permanent residency and eventual citizenship for workers and their families."

These people are not just doing something illegal, like most of us do some times, these people's very existence here is illegal.

Would you try to smuggle yourself across the Swiss border with the full intention of living there as a parasite, hiding from the law, forging official Swiss documents to survive in your criminal life, hiding in the shadows to ingratiate your future offspring into their welfare and social support systems and schools, lying to people on a daily basis (like a sociopath) all for personal gain? Could you live like that? Could you be that kind of person? Could your mom or dad be that kind of person? When did you start respecting people like that? Are you someone under a certain age that doesn't remember how America was before the Democrats passed the 1965 Immigration act?

This guy is part of an organized socialist movement to break down our borders, implement the anti-global warming initiatives and to get rid of Sheriff Arpaio.

what the hell is wrong with you? how old are you? you are supporting the invasion of this nation with your limp liberal ‘give ‘em water’ crap. move down to mexico and kiss their butts if you love ‘em so much. set out water...and you help the illegal invaders of this country survive so they can spread their drugs to our kids and misery to all, anchor babies, and diseases here in America. I remember when this nation was a great nation and kids like you are trying to destroy it. leave.
