These normally “kind” ranchers are aiding and abetting the problem. What they are doing by offering food and drink is letting them know that Americans are subservient to them and they have every right to be there. That’s how these acts of kindness are interpreted by the invaders, considering what they’ve already been told about their “rights”. Bad idea.
IMHO, the whole charity routine at the border does the same thing. Just load ‘em up and drive ‘em back. Hundreds of buses heading south will do the trick and deter the ones on the way north.
I agree with you Judy. The only thing I’d offer them is a look down the barrel of my rifle. I’m sure most groups have a child or two, which they know makes it difficult for people to even deny them water.
