Illegal immigration is a mess on so many levels. Our border is in complete chaos, Mexico's Southern Border may as well be rabbit fence. But when it comes to those poor ignorant people wandering in the deserts, no one deserves to die of thirst. That has happened so many times and it is a hideous, torturous death. I don't want them crossing illegally into the country, I want the wall, I want beefed up border patrol, ICE, drones, the whole 9 yards. But man, if you heard the accounts that I've heard, and seen pictures of the bodies you might have a different opinion.
Pima County votes 3-2 to continue funding water stations along border
On one hand I agree. No one wants to read about or witness firsthand the deaths of women and children . . . any women and children. But on the other hand, life sure is one tough, relentless, unfair sonofabitch. Currently our civilization is engaged in the bloodiest ideological conflict since its inception between the warring ideas of personal responsibility and justification for bad choices. Following that reality, those people who left behind their familiar, mundane lives in the nations of their birth to make extremely dangerous journeys to America must face the consequences of their actions regardless of how lethal they might prove to be. Sure, why not set up some water stations in the desert, right? I mean, who's it gonna hurt in the long run. But here's the rub. What about using funds from those stations to get a few homeless
American Citizens off the streets of LA or some other urban hell? Get them off the street and into clean, safe housing. Sure, homeless Americans must also take responsibility for their own bad life choices, but for my money I'd rather see American Citizens "saved" before a pack of thirsty Salvadorians or whatever.
