'Illegal' is the operative word is it not? This IS our country not THEIRS, is it not? Enough with this splitting hairs over the obvious. The situation is critical. The only people breaking the law down there are the people who enter this country contrary to the law. If they are observed and reported by citizens of THIS COUNTRY, then that's their problem. They need to go to their OWN country. Tell me what country on earth would permit Americans to enter illegally and in massive numbers, demand and receive unlimited government assistance, curry favor and the protection of the authorities and then call the host country 'inhumane' in its efforts to defend its own borders and resources? I want to go to that country and stop working like a slave for a living here, the way I do.

"We understand bringing attention to the border; we just prefer anybody do that without violence. Though they say they aren't violent, the chemistry is certainly right for violence," said the Rev. Robin Hoover, founder of Humane Borders, which sets out water in the desert for border crossers.

OK, reverend, let's see which group encourages/supports unlawful activity:
Minute Man Project - patrols border in lawful fashion and reports lawbreakers to authorities.
Humane Borders - sets out water in the desert to aid and abet illegal border crossers.

I'd be careful about casting stones if I were you reverend.

Damn Good Idea!

These fools have yet to learn the old tactics are simply not going to work any longer. We're not going to be intimidated by the formerly reliable buzzwords like "racist", "rednecks", "white supremacists", "gun nuts" and the like.

It's gotten too serious to fall for that any more.

Since the United States is not at "war" with Mexico no its not "aid & comfort to the enemy" but it IS aiding & abetting a criminal enterprise & conspiracy to do the same & you can be prosecuted for that.
