Water stations for illegals???

[flywise]

I was heading back from the LLM last weekend and somewhere between the Yturria ranch and the checkpoint there were multiple water stations labeled "AGUA" with a big white flag flying stating the same. Is this taxpayer funded? Are we as a country encouraging illegals to cross over by providing water for them? I have a strong opinion about this, but I want to hear what you guys think.

Yes we are encouraging them ( at least our politicians and those that knowingly hire them are)
They knowing hire criminals to sneak them in. They knowingly place their children in harm's way.
And we save them from their terrible situations and what do we get? People who don't appreciate this country enough to fly an American flag, don't appreciate it enough to learn English. Don't appreciate it enough to abide by our laws. Europe has the same problem.
The situation they come from is no doubt terrible but encouraging them to do these things
Is just as bad as the coyote taking advantage of them.
I don't mind seeing water stations with an agua sign but I do mind seeing vote here signs in Spanish.

For those that think it's expensive to set up drinking water stations (and I have no idea if these stations being discussed are tax payer funded), you should see the medical bills incured when someone is treated for heat stroke.

The other thing fail to realize is that watering stations save livestock and wildlife watering system from damage.

Hypocrite. You don’t have to justify your faith to me, but you **** sure are going to get judged for your opinion based on what you claim to believe.

And I’m sure I will be judged on my day. But that’s between me and Him. Nothing for you to worry your pretty little head about.

And thirdly, yeah, I'm gonna put up a bow stand on one of them water holes if I ever see one.

Is that where we are? You’re a liberal if you don’t want people to die of heatstroke in the desert.

ROFL.

Here is another bit of information.... Watering stations are not new or a recent development. They were everywhere in Arizona in the early 2000's when I was detailed there. One of the weekends it got hotter than I though would ever be possible. Temps peaking out at 120 out in the desert. Any skin exposed to the sun felt like it was in an oven. There were 17 bodies recovered over a weekend. Who knows how many more perished but were just not found.

I wonder if we set up watering stations for the Indians or did we just tell them to go back to their own d.. country?

Bet that sounded better in your head.

Still can’t get over the people that don’t live in the real world on here. Against WATER stations. SMH.

You're not against illegal immigration and methods for enabling it?

I would figure someone as enlightened as you would be more upset at the choices people make to commit crimes that knowingly put their lives and the lives of the people with them at risk.
But instead..you focus on those that disagree with enabling that crime.
Thats odd.

If these water stations are so great, then we should start putting them in Mexico, and Central America for the folks making the trek through there. And the Syrians, they need water too they are in a sand box for Christ sake, and their politicians are corrupt. What about the Cubans coming over by boats, maybe we set up a water/shade island in the Gulf. And the Iranians, they need water and money.

You got to appreciate the irony in a bunch of socialist running their country into the ground through greed and corruption then using that as an excuse to break into a capitalist country, to suck from the tiddies of freedom.

And last. Can we please stop acting like its all women and kids making a thousand mile journey through the desert?

Water stations don’t enable it. They stop people from dying in areas where there is no potable water. They were coming before water stations. They are coming after. The only thing that water stations enables is a chance at life instead of death. Dead people don’t learn lessons.

These aren’t lemonade stands.

They are willing to risk death to come here and get a job. You think immigration law matters to people that desperate? Enabling crime... give me a break.
