I am a staunch conservative and I live near the Mexican border. I think those who advocate making it easy and putting watering stations throughout the desert are idiots. I don't like what is happening but I refuse to let anyone die if I can prevent it. I have fed illegals and I have given them water. My husband has found one who died in the desert of exposure.

I'm not going to aid and abet but I will not let a fellow human being die when I can prevent it. I do call the Border Patrol when I come across one .

I know what you mean -- and I'd bet a healthy sum that the evil "vigilante gangs" here in Cochise County have already rescued more illegals than these goofballs ever will. The only difference is we always turn them over to the Border Patrol.

Strong words, tiki, and good ones.

A very real conundrum we all face is how we deal with this issue on both micro and macro levels....and those levels in between.

Like you, I would never allow an individual to die in the desert. On the other hand, I'd like to see the border sealed from Matamoras to San Diego, with just the International Ports of Entry left open.

In between, I have a friend living on a smuggling trail who lives in fear due to the hundreds of illegals parading through her front and back yard at all hours of the night.

I'm not going to aid and abet but I will not let a fellow human being die when I can prevent it. I do call the Border Patrol when I come across one .

IMHO, this is the right way to handle our problem.

Out of curiousity...do you live here with us? Or are you on a different stretch of the border?

How very nice and Christian of you!
Damn you to the hell you deserve!

Would you care to explain to my daughter why people who "hable espanol" means an unsafe area?

Care to tell my child why it is vital that she learns Spanish, instead of the language of her natural ancestors?

Care to tell me why I have to put up and pay for the rejected citizens of a foreign country, instead of carefully monitoring a real revolution on our border?

How very Christian of you, to make it my problem, and not yours.
