Human rights center adds water stations as migrant deaths rise
Valley Morningstar ^ | June 19, 2016

NEAR FALFURRIAS — The sun blazed Tuesday afternoon as Eddie Canales and Anna Ibarra of the South Texas Human Rights Center took turns striking a three-foot metal rod into the ground with a sledge hammer for the first of 12 new water stations.

“Today is important for us because this is the first time we are allowed to set these stations up in this particular ranch,” said Canales, who allowed The Monitor to ride along with him on the condition the name of the ranch was not disclosed.

As the heat index climbed to over 110 degrees, Canales, 68, and Ibarra, 23, stood on the sandy soil of the ranch, which sits next to the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint, and where hundreds of migrants have died trying to avoid detection.

At the heart of the left is enablement.

“Human Right Center how about telling them in Mexico it is very dangerous and stupid to cross the desert. Oh, never mind.”

I was going to post the exact same thing. The elites in this country need to keep importing their modern version of slave labor who will cut their lawns, clean their toilets and watch their children.

Sounds like aiding and abetting to me.

Why are they only giving them water? What about food? What about a place to stay overnight? What about cell phones cable TV and internet access? What about toilet paper? And what about the lesbian gay bisexual and transgendered migrants? What about hormones for those who are transitioning?

It seems like they are neglecting so many necessities of life here. What kind of liberals are they, making them subsist only on water during their trek???

Why not station air conditioned Motor Coaches along the border to transport the incoming in comfort?

There have been water stations along coyote routes for years but somehow ICE has failed to stake them out.

Me thinks rancher is very stupid. He’ll be found murdered by an illegal one of these days.

He’d have to be to do something like that-I grew up on a ranch in SW Texas near the border, but my family isn’t rich, and they never gave any mojados water unless they’d already called La Migra to come get them-otherwise, the neighboring ranchers might have burned their barn or harmed their livestock for aiding illegals-only rich people can afford replacements, so yeah, this rancher is probably well off...

That’s fine with me-as long as they are transporting them back to Mexico...

A friend travels the back areas near Tucson. Whenever he comes across illegals they have women and children with them. (I’m guessing the bad guys are mixed in, or they stay hid). He gives them some of his water out of his stash.

Then he drives away and gives the Border Patrol a call with the GPS coordinates. He has them on speed dial.

“I give them water ‘cuz I’m Christian. I call the Border Patrol ‘cuz I’m American.”

Most of the ranches down there are wide open affairs of scrub trees and prickly pear cactus. The ranchers aren't making money off the illegals, but they also aren't allowed to patrol their own property.

This whole thing is part of the game. A water station can't save a life if every person going by it fills up their jug. When the illegals get in trouble, they get on a cell phone and call for help. It takes forever for CBP to find them because they are prohibited from using direction finding and cell phone interrogating equipment. People continue to die, making a dangerous trek that both governments encourage them to make.

I went to flight school in the Navy in Kingsville and one thing is certain. It totally sucks there in the Summer. It is brutally hot and humid.

I wonder what would happen if someone put the universal "poison" sticker on these water stations.

Would it deter people from drinking?

It certainly would work on me.

I'd seriously think that hey maybe this isn't WORTH dying over, and head back for home.

Patriots with some bulldozers should go and plow these things over the day they are completed.

I read awhile back that the main reason some ranchers put water stations on their property is if they don’t the illegals destroy hydrants and water troughs for the cattle. They’ve had cattle die because of it.
